Copenhagen World Track Champs this week

For me? You're so generous.

"while Australia were the most successful nation" is all I got. Sorry, was there anything else I should read? Oh wait, here's another one.. "Less encouraging for Britain are the moves by the UCI this week to limit the technological advantage that they and the other major nations hold by implementing rules about the use of expensive bikes that are not available commercially."

Nice. :)

"The confusion over the omnium format reflects the unstable state of a sport which now has to contend with the prospect of the International Cycling Union banning kit as and when they decide, with the main criterion being whether it is "in the market place at a realistic price". The principle is that technology should be available to all, but the UCI president Pat McQuaid was unclear what the terms meant in reality, although his press officer Enrico Carpani suggested €10,000 (£9,000). The fact that Carpani's was merely a figure plucked out of the air is in itself an adequate reflection of where the UCI stands. What is clear is that the three leading track nations, Great Britain, Australia and Germany, are being targeted."

so australia are cheating too?
