Chris Hoy Defeated by Irishman



Irish track racer Felix English celebrates after beating Chris Hoy (!?!?!) in the 1/16th round of the Men's Sprint at the European Championships today, knocking Hoy out of the competition! Hoy had pulled ahead of English, but then slowed down in order, he says, to conserve some energy and so as not to embarrass his opponent, when all of a sudden the Irish rider sprinted past him for the win. Oh dear!

C'mon Ireland!

I think they're road bars, but I don't know what make or model.

I'm pretty sure English is using the Deda Elementi 215 Road drops. They are Deda's for sure though.

Hoy's probably using Nitto B123AA drops judging by how narrow they are. Nitto's about the only ones making 35-36 cm track bars.... or his shoulders really are that wide.
