This has been a strange yet burning question I've posed to myself of late, and now I'm putting it out there. By way of…
Thanks for your comments and for the feedback on Ryokou Rowan…keep your eyes out for Episode 5 tomorrow at 12noon. The final instalment. It’ll give you a dose of Japanese bike racing, a tiny bit more than SBS2 version. www.youtube.com/chasingtheglory is where to find it.
Why is track cycling the ugly, more boring step-sister?
Hey Glenn – thanks for reading.
I did say ‘arguably’ and your points have proven that based on results, Shane is yet to reach the milestones of Shane Kelly and the likes. Let’s hope he can spend the next few years catching up to those fellas and gain a place amongst that upper echelon in the sport. Let’s face it, I’m a little biased too ; )
Cheers

Shmax – good call on the 20/20 thing. When speaking to Shane during the making of Ryokou, he mentioned that he would love to see a Friday night metro competition start up in Adelaide and maybe other cities, where clubs would race eachother with blaring music and all the crazy sights of velo racing…could be something in that.

Hey Hardcore Prawn. Dig the name. Thanks for reading
Ryokou aired last night on SBS2 here in Australia. Good news is you can tune in online to watch it. An episode will drop every day at noon (Ep1 live now) until Friday. Then from Friday arvo you’ll be able to go and watch them all back to back via youtube. Here’s the channel the eps are published to: www.youtube.com/chasingtheglory
Also really interesting point regarding your thoughts on Pendleton being more well known than someone like Wiggo. Would love to put this to other pommy readers out there for their thoughts. It’s no doubt she has done a great job in building the profile of the track in the UK. (still a great feeling for us Aussies to see her with the silver around her neck though..)

Tom this would be the best comment in the thread! But I’m going to sit back and let other readers get into the Lions and Ashes debate!! I just hope you have crowed early mate…
