Motor Paced Keirin Riders line up at the rail and get on the motor as it passes by. Those not on the rail when the motor starts must get on the back of the group from the black, not the yellow, as riders will be changing the lead between the blue and the yellow. No rider may stay behind the motor for more than 1 lap. They may not pass the motor except when changing the lead. The drill continues for 3-6 minutes, the time being either unknown or announced in advance. During this time the motor will occupy various positions on the track, doing laps on the blue or the black. Riders will work for position in behind, focusing on avoiding being on the wheel of a slower rider. At the end of the drill, the motor should be up on the blue. The motor accelerates away from the pack, the whistle blows, and everyone descends to the black for a sprint of between 2 and 4 laps (announce exactly how many in advance and have someone show lap cards). |
