Track racers: An irritable bunch

Pinchie was joking the other day about bike messengers being shrinking violets.

That certainly isn't true of track racers, who surely are a stubborn and bellicose crew.

The goofiest part of this is how the announcers try to stay so charitable--and the cameras keep cutting away -- from what must have been a heated post-race, uh, conversation.

"announcers try to stay so charitable" - that's an understatement! "Gee, I don't know Bob, it looks like he was congratulating him by grabbing his handlebar and steering him into the ground."

"I agree Doug. It seems like a strange way to wish someone well, but maybe that's the way they do it where he's from."
