on UHD right now is this race.  Ok, i've never even heard of this event, but how in the hell are there not wrecks?  There are 2 people per team, arm slingshots every lap between team mates, and probably 50 bikes on the track at one time.

Im glad Paul Sherwin is commentating.  I'd be so lost if someone didn't tell me who is where.

We have an indoor veldrome near, so I get to watch Madisons all the time. It definitely an exciting race to watch. I'm a bit disappointed in who Canada sent to do the Madison at the Olympics, but it still a good race to watch.

I think I saw somewhere that there were 36 riders in the Madison, so 18 teams. Our indoor veldrome is only 200m, so that makes it even more cramped.

good bike handling skills

But even then... I went to the worlds last year and saw 2 or 3 crashes
