Some of the cycling events seem a little ridiculous and straight up confusing, but team events are a big part of cycling & personally I found the team sprint events to one of the most entertaining things I've watched so far.
I hear that, just an opinion. I found it painfully boring and ridiculous though.I think the fact that 'we' are winning a lot of the races goes a long way to adding to the enjoyment of it all. Gives a taste of what it must be like to be a Meriman or a genetically modified Chinese when watching the Olympics.
There's a cycling equivalent of the heptathalon called 'The Omnium'. This is a pretty cool name. One of the events I've never seen before, and it's fucking awesome. It should be called Teh Highlander; approx 20 cyclists do laps, and every two laps the last person to cross the line is out of the race. The race continues until there is only one.
Closing stages:
