The omnium needs a change in the format.

4 nearly identical races gets boring quickly

the omnium needs to be cancelled...:evil:

they should have the points race and the elimination race as they stand in the program (and the men's madison, of course...the girls maybe in the future, right now they need to make a lot more experience on that race before they should be allowed to ride it at the global events, imho)...and stop.

As far as I'm concerned, the elimination race is the single most exciting race in track cycling, yet it's not even raced on its own during the euro/world championships.:lol:

 

I don't know why the IOC felt obligated to bring up this Omnium thing and not simply one (or two) endurance event(s).

I think having the omnium is a good thing, but absolutely not in the current form. It should be a good mix between sprints, endurance, riding on your own and riding in a field/mass start. 

 

And yeah, elimination race should be a stand-alone event :spank: 

My favourite event after the 1km time trial, which is of course less tactically exciting to watch, but for me it's also some of the purest essence of sports: pull out absolutely every single last bit of energy in your body and if at the end you're still able to walk, you didn't go deep enough :bowdown:

They do run the elimination race as a stand alone event at the European Championships but not the Worlds.

Men's race tomorrow, women Tuesday

Reparing the track while there are still riders on the track, because that can't go wrong..
