Also at the track to capture the racing was our pal John Young, of Fietsenphotography, and once again he's been very nice and supplied us with loads of great images.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sundays at German Sixes are and have always been ‘family day’ when the programme of sport and entertainment is held during the afternoon rather than in the evening or night.  On a cold wind-chilled winter afternoon, local families came along to the Landsberger Allee Velodrome to enjoy the racing and pass on the tradition from one generation to the next.

The race programme kicked off with a series of Sprints won by Kalz - Bengsch who are looking like the real deal this time around and should continue to challenge for a podium place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in mid-December, VeloVeritas pal Mike Zagorski noticed that 2009 Formula One World Champion Jenson Button was in Hawaii, by happy coincidence the same island that he lives on.

As it turns out, Jenson was on a bit of a holiday with his girlfriend, a Japanese model named Jessica Michibata, and long-time friend Chris Buncombe (24hr Le Mans driver) - and they had brought their bikes!

Mike made contact with Jenson and within a day or two had managed to nail down a time and place to ride.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[‘There’s a time to come and a time to go,’ the words of Danny Stam when he announced that he would retire at the end of this winter season, the Dutchman is 39 years-old.

But whilst the former British under 23 road race champion, twice British hill climb champion and Tour of the Pyrenees winner, Dan Fleeman is 10 years younger than the six day man, he’s arrived at the same conclusion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is an interesting stage. It’s too hard to be a sprint, too easy over the final 40km to cause any concern to the GC lads, and so is a difficult, and likely stressful in-between day where nothing much changes, other than everyone’s a day tireder and one bloke has picked up a big victory.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great food pun. Well, an ok food pun. I’m sure there are some unemployed former News Of The World staffers who could come up with something better… Enough of unimportant stuff though! Onto the cycling.

Last night was a very tough stage – Voeckler’s team did indeed keep things quite close to ensure he retained the yellow jersey, and Gilbert hit out hard to try and shake the sprinters prior to the finale.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apologies for not updating the site for a little while folks - we've both been very busy with our day jobs.

Ed has been clearing the decks before heading over to Italy to cover the Giro d'Italia shortly, and so to get us in the mood we thought you'd enjoy revisiting one of our diary articles from Stage 11 of last year's race, a 262km haul from Lucera to L'Aquila, when a break of over 50 riders threatened to overturn the race completely...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the excellent articles on Alf Engers competition record published on VeloVeritas, specifically Part 2, but also Part 1, I thought I should try to recall my memories of that day away back in 1978.

At 14 years old it’s not often that you can say that "I was there" but I was.

		<description><![CDATA[The experienced American rider Colby Pearce was one of the guys looked after by Kris, Martin and Ed at some of this winters' Six Days, including the recent event at the Ballerup Stadium in Copenhagen.

Having raced at elite level on the track at the Olympics, at World Cups and in the World Championships, as well as being a National Champion 14 times and holder of the US Hour Record (50.191), together with a spell working as the US Track Coach, Colby had seen most of what track cycling had to offer.

One element was missing though: Six Day Racing...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine you are a young man. You are racing in your first Tour De France. You do not know it will be your only one. You have climbed the ladder from the outside in, from day one. 

You have won the Olympic Games, you have survived a season on your own in Belgium, you have survived all things Grewal.

Your entire life has been to win your father's approval, to be seen in his eyes and hence in your own as a winner. 

Nothing you have done to date has ever made that possible. Not even a Gold Medal...]]></description>

At 118,000 square kilometres it's around half the size of the United Kingdom; with a population similar to that of Scotland at an estimated five million

It's better known for producing athletes of the running variety, but one ambitious, young sportsman is breaking the trend...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mission Viejo, Sunday July 29th 1984 and Alexi Grewal wins the 190 kilometre Los Angeles Olympic Road Race for the United States in front of an estimated 300,000 home fans. It should have been the start of a magnificent career for the talented man from Aspen, Colorado, but it didn’t work out quite like that.

Despite contracts with some of the best teams of the era – Panasonic, 7-11 and RMO – and flashes of brilliance, his Euro career never caught fire and he returned to the USA. The wins came there, but to knowledgeable observers, his was always an example of unfulfilled genius. 

When someone pointed out to us that Alexi was on the comeback trail we just knew we had to talk to him, and Alexi offered us the following great story about that amazing day, written in his own words. Read on!]]></description>
