Anyone see the track cycling at the weekend, in particular the Keirin?

Just OUCH!



Full story

And a video of the crash as it happened on BBC Sport.

I take my hat of to him for jumping back on his bike and finishing third. Double hard bd!

Jeez that is some splinter!

Respect for getting back on the bike.

Ouch!

Sometimes I do wonder if splintery wood is the best material for a velodrome, having said that I've crashed sprinting on a concrete track and can only liken it to cycling as fast as you can into a giant sanding disc!

Missed the Keirin but I did see the men's sprint heats, women's team pursuit and men's Omnium which I think is an excellent event.

I hope to see GB v Australia in the Olympic team pursuit final - it would be like the Ashes packed into 4mins!

Here's the full race. Hoy looks like he's in a class of his own.

Hoy's power as he accelerates away is amazing. He's king of the track at the moment.

Jesus christ!!! It's like a bomb went off in his legs Legend.

Loving the fact that everyone else wiped out once he'd powered past - probably tried a bit too hard to respond
