British Cycling Videos


Men's keirin from Revolution 29 last weekend. Bit of a weird race, this one, as the field looks well beaten by Kenny before Hoy destroys him right at the end...


British track national championship highlight. How fast is that men's team sprint!?!?


Halo British Downhill series, round 5. I would definitely die trying something like this.

Thanks to mindtron for the heads-up. Check out more videos on British Cycling's Vimeo page here.

That was Jason Kenny who went up from last to first position behind the wheel. It was Chris Hoy who overtook Jason Kenny in the last lap for the win.

The gap that developed right before the derny pulled off is a classic endurance rider tactic. The third rider behind the wheel allowed a gap between him and the second rider to slow down the field behind him and then jump on the back stretch as the motor pulls off, hoping to take it with a long haul. Jason Kenny had the same idea but Chris Hoy's amazing jump in the last lap got the better of them.

Hi K, thanks for the comment. I realised that I'd described it wrong, so I've already changed it.

Downhill video @ 1:52. He pedals while in the air. So awesome.
