Find out what makes Keirin racing so popular.
If you've ever been to a velodrome to watch a track race you may have noticed how different the keirin is.
The first thing you would have noticed is the motorcycle on the track. You might have wondered why a motorcycle is going to race those bikes. Then you started wondering why those bikes are following that motorcycle around the track. You were really glad when that motorcycle got off the track and let the bikes race.
Next you noticed one of the most exiting things you've ever seen as those bikes sprinted so fast for the finish line you could barely move your neck fast enough to watch them and you sure as heck couldn't tell who won.
