I’m excited to watch the Keirin stuff, and am hopeful for Josiah Ng’s chances as I posted on the forum. I’m a little troubled by the reports that the race was added due to some cash changing hands from Japanese business.

Of course, we need to remember that this sport is a huge betting sport in Japan, so there is a financial stake for the gambling industry.

I’ll be posting a bunch of links and videos from the Olympics - I have several cycling friends who are already over (but not racing) there and have promised me cycling info. Additionally, we’ve got some of the actual cyclists blogging and we’ll have that content as well. Let’s share it up, folks!
