Not necessarily, but to be fair: one can assume that when you go from 1 crappy track to 5 modern tracks

 

Basically, what happened here also.

and combine that with a huge PR machine and huge funding, it does deliver some noticeable results  

 

Ah, that's the part missing. D'oh.

We had three new velodromes opening in a couple of years here (and a couple more in the pipeline). I remember how the french cyling federation was claming then this was going to put french track cycling back to the top . Having the needed infrastructures is only one face of the coin, really.

And let's go with the first full day of action

What disaster for Vece and Bissolati  Last place, and in men's team we'll do the same  

[dcro 10,210]

Looks like GBR again doesn't want to qualify in women's team sprint.

[heywoodu 15,145]

Wow, what a time for Russia. Faster than Welte/Vogel in the world champs.

Why does Tissot Timing not have this event? 

 

The official one sucks again, the results disappeared when the last two heats were up

Be that as it may, this is just really cool

Good time for Germany, considering that Hinze is only the 3rd option and that this is the first time that Welte and Hinze compete together. Maybe in Tokyo we will even see Grabosch and Hinze together.

Also gutsy move by the german coaches to have Timo Bichler (born in 1999) in position 1, will be hard for him to make Rene Enders (probably the best athlete ever in position one of the team sprint) proud .

I really cannot explain why Italy has all these difficulties in sprint and keirin

Not too surprising, given that this track (build for Chris Hoy) is said to be clearly in favor of sprinters and not endurance athletes.
