A kiwi happy at the aussies winning something?
Not so sure about that jags. That's like a Scot being happy at England winning something!

Rual it was only when i posted that i realized that Tony was a kiwi .
i'm a geek.

but Tony was a good track rider in his day so i'm sure he enjoyed the worlds anyway.

Jags,

I sure did enjoy seeing NZ picking up a Gold Medal at the world championships, wonderful stuff:

I must admit to being envious of the the brand new Avantidrome opening in Cambridge (NZ) this week (or was it last week,) a 250m Indoor Velodrome - we didn't have such things back in my day in the 1980s. When I was training in the 1980s, for an important competition I had to fly to Brisabane, Australia from New Zealand to train on an outdoor velordrome, as the one I used in Auckland, New Zealand would have been out of action for over half the time with winter rain. I think I lost just one day training in Brisbane due to weather. These days the guys can train whenever they want and never have to lose a day due to bad weather, but that is progress. I guess the guys from the 1960s and 1970s that I had it good in the 1980s, so nothing changes.

For Jags - that is a Kiwi on my helmet, not a Kangaroo ;-)
