Explain these races Explain these races Kierin- The keirin is a motorpaced event that is very popular in Japan where it originated. In that country, huge amounts of money are bet on races and professional keirin riders command impressive salaries. It is similar to the match sprint, but features 6-8 riders on the track. A derny motorbike paces the riders from 25 km/h up to 45 km/h for the first few laps. During this time, riders jostle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CxkGOgoAOM&feature=channel Scratch Race - Seriously if I have to explain how this race works, it is a concern. However the round 4 scratch race is usually an endurance event. Laps will be determined before the start. Race for that many laps and sprint for the finish. Simple.
