But I'm afraid this was his last, because the Israeli Jakovlev will dominate men's sprinting from now on. give Mattia Predomo a couple of years to build up on his muscles...

I don't think so...he still competed for Russia at last year's Worlds. unless the Russians give him permission to race for Israel, Paris 2024 is way less than 3 years away from his last appearance with the native Country.

I can't see Russia giving him permission or else others might follow his example. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalamAkhi 278 Posted October 16, 2022 #84 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Does anyone know what kind of nationality transfer is at stake ? Regarding his ability to overpower Lavreysen I'm all eyes. His unofficial WR was set on a very quick track so he may not have the edge that this performance suggests. And the gap itself is not that big time-wise, mind that even when Hoogland manages to equal Lavreysen's times, he's still unable to beat the latter. Yakovlev is really good strategically though, so we'll see, in the Track CL hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinzha 529 Posted October 16, 2022 #85 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Some exciting results by the younger members of the Dutch team already and now another with Van der Peet's bronze in the Keirin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll update when it will be certain but right now besides the certainty of him representing Israel the question of when he will begin is unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thagard 39 Posted October 18, 2022 #88 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I only watched the Women Points Race (I think first track cycling race I ever watch) and it was interesting as well as challenging, relying most on commentary to find out what is happening on the track.
