Don't worry - 3 more years and we can be disappointed when we don't get London 2012 tickets

If you're actually there in the atmosphere it is really good fun to watch

That's what I mean. The World Championship is coming to Copenhagen in 2010, and I'll definitely go watch it.
As far as I recall, the World Championship was also here a few years ago. I was there then, despite never having seen a track race before. It's a lot more interesting when you're there. Really intense. |

I went all the way to Mallorca to watch it last year, so I'm pretty annoyed that I can't make it up the road to Manchester. The worst thing is I'm accredited too.

I won't pretend to know what accredited means () but that's not as bad as Crommy, who lives in England, didn't even go to the Tour de France in London

a heck of a lot of riders try very hard to "stabilize" themselves at 49.9%
