my specialty is eliminations. My other specialty is getting boxed in during eliminations. Either that or I just forget what I am doing. That is what happened today. I was taking a bite of my breakfast and next thing I know I am already way behind.

I hate that. It's the same with me
Either I get eliminated quicky because of bad blocking manoeuvres, or I go on and win/finish 2nd |

Well, elimination is easy as long as you stay on the outside. Really -- never go in, just stay on the outside, and you get to the final  |

exactly. And I see a lot of people desperately trying to be at the front. They're just wasting energy. As long as you're not last...
Oh, and I go out of my way not to block people, so when people block it pisses me off.

The blocking is a part of the game. I don't know anything about track cycling, but for me it's just a challenge. The real master of track never gets blocked  THat's why I do not master elimination, cause i get blocked once in a while, but I am mostly just not concetrated, and suddenly I am last with 50 m to the line

I concur. I've won numerous eli's this way, although I'm surprised by the number of people who still go inside  |

I go inside only if I feel save and am very low on energy and then I only go if Im up front. That is the perfect place to be behind the leader on the inside.

I have a somewhat different technique to others, I go wherever there is a gap, inside, outside, in the middle somewhere. Then the last 200m I campletely bomb it round the outside and then pull up and resume my normal position again
I have won 6 eliminations that way, although I realise my technique is flawed

I've only experienced it being very slow to respond, once.
And just now, yes it is very slow at the moment

By the way, just so you know, I'm pretty much online all morning (10-14 GMT +1) every day where I get up my confidence by beating a lot of Frenchies. But I hope more of you will start to show up at those times |

WOW
by far the strangest bug I've ever seen in any game, ever.
Dankan hosted. just when the track finished loading, I saw all the riders riding around at warp speed. they were going so fast I couldn't even tell them apart. The bell was ringing permanently, it was destroying my ears.
And I couldn't write anything. But I could see Dankan and some "Zabel" guy talking.
Weirdest experience ever in any video game. Words literally cannot describe how weird it was.
