What's happening in this vid?

101. Berliner Sechs Tage Rennen 4. Tag - YouTube

At about the 2:25 mark where the rider seems to be yelling at the pacer? Has the pacer upped the speed too much and left him behind?

he's asking for his lunch
the driver passed back a scotch egg and he distinctly said pork pie

He got dropped by his bike.

As the bike is doing all of the work to break the wind, it must be incredibly hard to maintain speed once you're out of the slipstream.

So he's screaming to his rider to slow down so he can get back on.

Talking of egg - don't they stick on their front wheel with egg wash (or somethng equally odd)?

Ah, as I suspected, thanks. Must be difficult to communicate with all those engines running.

Have you seen the helmets the motorbike riders wear? They have rear facing vents over the ears so that they can hear the cyclist behind them.

Didn't realise, so had a search for a photo.

First I found this:

and this:

Then, finally:

I really have to get to some of the six day races soon.

Sometimes the stayers come out to play at Herne Hill on Good Friday.

now this just looks plain rude

i volunteered to pilot one of thr triumphs round herne hill at the good friday meet
i'm sure i'd kill someone though so best not ... plus they say you need training ... ppffffttt

now this just looks plain rude

The file name doesn't help.

is that dimi3 on the stayer ?

It actually looks like the rider, is clocking the others overtaking him, then shouts allez to his driver to pick the speed up, unfortunately his driver doesn't do this very gradually and goes flat stick, leaving his rider off the back. It definely looks like the rider wanted to go a little quicker and called for the acceleration.
Sometimes, drivers think its thier race and push the riders too hard and drop them. Cardinal sin.

The drivers always think it's their race and can suffer occasional bouts of premeditated deafness.

The drivers always think it's their race and the torque from a triumph v-twin can shuffle the motorbike along at quite a lick

I need to have a go at this one day. The guy looks pretty angry in the vid

just replace the truimph motorbike with the number 357 from finchley tube to oxford street station and you've got yourself an urban version mike

after the lfgss bff party, coppithat towed me all the way from commercial street to new cross behind his motorbike. as such, urban variants have my seal of recommendation.

i find national express buses can be good but they do gather speed alarmingly at times
difficult to keep up with on a clear stretch of road ... unless you are mike of course.

Can supply the Triumph.

6pt following coppi
mike following bluequinn

now that i would i would like to see

haha on a summers evening round regents park inner circle. win.

i was thinking more of the oxford street challenge

I often try and draft something or someone when I go round Regents Park in the evenings :)

i'm surpised there is anyone circulating fast enough for you to draft

Sometimes the stayers come out to play at Herne Hill on Good Friday.

If enough support was shown for steher racing there is no reason it couldn't become a regular feature at Herne Hill!
