Although, I prefer Côte d'Azur myself. Thanks, Squid![edit] Squid is clearly a much nicer and more helpful person than I am. In the comments he just posted the following explanation of the lines:
"For safe track riding you need to know that:
Blue Band- Is out or off the track (technically you can ride here, but you cannot pass someone if you are in the blue; that will get you disqualified)
Measurement Line- Is the marker that is the 'true' distance of the track (the closer you are to the m line, the shorter your ride is).
Sprinter's Line- If you are between the Sprinter's Line and the M line you are in the Sprinter's Lane! This is where you want to be when things are moving fast. Remember! If you are in the Sp lane at 200m to go in a race, you are dedicated to stay (this is important; if you are in the lead with 200m to go, pulling out of the sprinters lane will get you disqualified.)
Stayer's Line- For riders who are not sprinting, stay above this line for warm up and cool down."
Thanks for the helpful words, Squid!

But what do all the words MEAN?
Veruka2- The words describe the different lines! For safe track riding you need to know that
Blue Band- Is out or off the track
Measurement Line- Is the marker that is the 'true' distance of the track (the closer you are to the m line, the shorter your ride is).
Sprinter's Line- If you are between the Sprinter's Line and the M line you are in the Sprinter's Lane! This is where you want to be when things are moving fast. Remember! If you are in the Sp lane atr 200m to go in a race, you are dedicated to stay.
Stayer's Line- For riders who are not sprinting, stay above this line for warm up and cool down.
I may be wrong on some of this stuff but I think that is basically it!
Stayer's Line-
Simon- Côte d'Azur sounds better! My friend Marco likes to call it the blood gutter..
