It's incredible. The track is super fast, huge crowd, it's amazing.
They're really up and about. But I got to tell

really fast. You've got to say. It's a bit sweaty
and sticky. The spectators and us in cometary almost blue
to our stuck to our seats. It's so hot and sweaty.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
To be honest with me. The helmets that the cyclists
are wearing, how much of that is legitimately for aerodynamics,
and how much of that is we just want to
make them look as silly as humanly possible, And they
just pedaled a bit harder. They wouldn't even need to
wear them.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well, some of them perhaps could be you know, said
that they bring a sport into disrepute because of the
arguments of them. They are far.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
They do help they I mean, they're look good, they
look like they would work really well. But I can't
help but feel like if I wore one of those
back at school, I would have got beaten up.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Oh I just cruised the end of the shop and
I just crew down the shop pick up earth a
Mars bar wearing one of those helmets. You'd be fine.
