Now that the entire UK is an expert on the Keirin, it's time to make the Japanese event our own. And to that end, Rollapaluza and Tokyo Fixed have got together to put on the UK's first meet devoted entirely to the Keirin.
All-comers will be able to challenge some of the top sprinters from the UK in this motor-paced, action packed, race.
It will take place at Herne Hill Velodrome on Sunday 26th August at 1pm, and the rules will be a mix of Japanes and UCI-style Keirin racing.
If you don't fancy taking part, but miss the track events at the Olympics, it's free to spectate and worth an afternoon out with Japanese food, a licensed bar and the next best thing to trackside betting, a charity "chance-based" lottery, allowing spectators to select random rider numbers with a chance of winning the jackpot.
Cash prizes for the main event are provided by Tokyo Fixed. Women's prizes come from Road.cc favourites Ananichoola and for the novice event Morvelo.
Peter Mitchell (team V-Sprint) and GB Academy riders Dave Daniell, Kian Emadi, John Paul, Lewis Oliva, Callum Skinner and Victoria Williamson are registered to ride as well as Dutch rider Michael Veen providing a unique opportunity for club riders and aspiring track sprinters to race against the UK's rising sprint stars and future Olympians.
Novice riders intending to enter must have track experience.

Yep, that post about zipp wheels on Wahoo rollers is so 2018. And as for the live blog, don't make me laugh.
Terrible pictures on that listing....
OK, I have to ask. can you put a giant propeller on a Giant Propel?
Physics is wrong, conclusion is right. Main heat transfer to spokes will be conduction via hub body. Dodgy spoke will fail from stress, not heat.
