While my cycling of choice is MB XC I must admit that the road and track racing has been a lot more interesting to me than the MB and BMX as spectator sports.
BMX looks a bit silly with grown-ups on tiny bikes and legs pedalling like mad - just like a computer game with plenty of spills.
MB was quite boring with too few opportunities for overtaking. I appreciated the riding skills but excitement was limited. Perhaps the men tomorrow will be better.
I found both track and road racing a much more interesting mix of skills, speed and tactics.
It's a bit like the running where I'm much more interested in the pure running events than those such as hurdles/steeplechase which put in artificial barriers.
Just watched Mo Farah - brilliant
