Thought it was a great event, coffee van by big bob, plus a dedicated beer tent, plus the pavillion shop and pizza truck. And a free fireworks display.
To my shame I never attended the original events but I thought the atmosphere was great, even if the velodrome can definitely sustain more people.
I can only encourage more people to enter and spectate next year! Spectating at the big bob corner and racing through it was fantastic, a proper roaring crowd that you don't normally get at league races.

That does look good!
Reminded me of this, slightly older but similar-ish (less gravel) SW portion of the route

There may be other options, but I've had 2.3" Schwalbe Big Apples under these:

I've had them on my commuter for a couple of years, once you accept they will get dinged it's fine...

An eventful race on a tough course.

He was wearing a Shell skinsuit in the team pursuit, but not the points race (actually can't remember which one). My guess is because he raced so many days he ran out of clean ones.
In a way it's nice when athletes take a stand but (personally) I'm not sure it's fair to expect them to make a massive fuss at a big event like world champs.
