Guest EPCC Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Team pursuit made simple The start Each rider will be held up on the track aprox 1 m apart On the gun go in a straight line don't try to follow the other riders wheel Whilst going round corner 1 and 2 you will naturally be able to drop down on to the wheel in front Changes Change every lap front rider pulls high up the track in first third of corner look for the last riders saddle and come down fairly steeply to join the line Your turn finishes when you have rejoined the line not when you have pulled up The finish On final corner and straight the following riders should try and bunch up (not slow down) to cross the finishing line Simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted December 10, 2013 Author Committee Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Final straight; first rider goes up track, above blue, to allow others to come through beneath. Last rider stays on red/black Do half laps if blown. PS Paul, stay in Bs please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions martin Posted December 10, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Black on the curves, red on the straights. Man 1 leads out for 1 1/4 laps from the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Guaranteed someone sits in & goes for the sprint at the end. Might as well put a "30" on the finish line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted December 11, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Good night in the Cs. 32 lap Points race to start and Alan was off the front for a fair bit of that and managed to stay away with another rider for one of the sprint laps (maybe even two?) with the bunch chasing hard. Paul and Billy scored some points too. My legs felt good but i ended up thinking about making a move rather than doing it. Next up 30 lap scratch and some team tactics...well executed by everyone apart from me as another rider got inbetween myself and Alan when moving to the front as Billy was putting in a monster effort. After that a 20 lap scratch and the tactics worked this time and i got the win. However we all ended up getting a warning for riding as a team afterwards. Oops! Anyway thanks for the help, not sure what i did to deserve it but it was much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Good fun last night fairly enjoyed the race tactics was feeling strong for the first time in ages Pity I wasn't strong and fast we had a wee chat and decided that I would be the domestic and get to the front with 4 to go Alan Paul and Iain to finish it off it sort of worked on the first race but I hit the front with 8 or 9 laps and Iain got boxed in Second race it worked perfectly Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted December 12, 2013 Author Committee Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Got half a lap ahead in a break of three in the points race but not strong enough to stay away. At least I have abandoned futile solo attacks. Faded in the last two laps of scratch races when speed went up. Need to either improve sprint or endurance or tactics or all three. Will do squats all week. Big Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted December 13, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Alan, Billy, don't sell yourself short, I won't and I will declare we were part of a well oiled machine that executed perfect tactics to put our man over the line first. Legality is a grey area, mentioned to commissaire I know and he said in open track racing no problem. Also the guy who was most upset was the guy who went to front with teammate after two laps then his teammate attacked very hard whilst being shouted on and blocked for by said unhappy chappy. Storm teacup. However, threat of being put in A group was enough to make me rethink and apologise !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted December 13, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I thought your team tactics were great and were well appreciated by most of the d riders waiting to come on. Just got to get it right next week now. Only thing is now, more clubs might start using team tactics as well, but surely that can only drive standards up, as it will make it harder to win solo.
