Watching the points race now - don't understand the rules can someone tell me whats going on??
Its on eurosport too, can someone please explain the rules as I am watching in german/swiss (on holiday in switzerland)!
every so often theres a sprint for points. you also get points if you gain a lap on the peleton, its virtually impossible to work out whats going on
oh actually i think its the madison when you get points for gaining a lap
ah no, they've just gained a lap and got extra points
Sprints every 10 laps, 5/3/2/1 points for the top 4 riders across the line.
A rider who gains a lap gets 20 points.
At the end of a set number of laps the winner is the one with most points.
Races are usually around an hour/25 miles and almost impossible to follow. It's even harder to ride it, you need to be able to do pretty good maths while hammering round at 30mph inches from 20 other riders!

Jess Varnish lives near me too ( here dad is a double hard firefighter so no comments about her from me)
Your a bit late its been on since six o'clock - a good reason to sack work off early 😉
