In reply to Enty:
Enty, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this both as a knowledgable cycling person and someone who lives in not-Britain...
The track cycling this weekend was a great event to watch and a big advert for the Olympics, and also there is no doubt that Britain's current success in mainstream cycling has a lot to do with the track cycling campaign that was instigated after the 1996 Olympics.
But ... track cycling remains a very minor discipline in a much bigger sport and I think people can get carried away in Britain with the success which has a lot to do with us concentrating on a sport other countries don't bother with.
In the rest of the World all cycling fans will know Cav and Brad, but almost no-one will have heard of Sir Chris and Queen Vic.
Having said that I did enjoy watching the event, especially Lizzie Trott in the Omnium and the German guy who caught the French guy napping in the deciding heat of the sprint race.
