Yep, took an oath to not destroy reality, but I'm still trying to quantum tunnel to the front straight from the back one.find_bruce wrote:which explains why you would call a riders position or velocity, but never bothbigfriendlyvegan wrote:I've got a PhD in physics

Dean Woods? He won medals in LA and Seoul so he was likely to still be strong in 1989.

The photo is the Amateur 4000m run off for Bronze which Steffen Blochwitz (East Ger) received.
(if nztony quote and memory is correct)
In 1989 Dean turned professional and raced for 'Team Stuttgart' in Germany.
He rode in 5000m Pro Pursuit at Lyon (at this meet) and got the Silver.
This is him at that meet (below). Amateurs and Pro's were still separated at this era.
My possibilities are Wayne McCarney or Stephen McGlede
Another possibility is it is the other Pro 5000m Pursuit rider there, Rik Sloane.

now now .... as we know, he wasn't the only one. I give the guy credit for at least being honest and manning up, pity others like O'Grady and the other 37 like him have lived in denial all these years. And Marty's offer to name the establishment names who were in on it, hasn't really been enthusiastically received. Easy to make him the scapegoat. I actually like the guy.bigfriendlyvegan wrote:Probably due to the roids.singlespeedscott wrote:I always remember him being more solid though.

Here's a photo (below) of Martin Vinnicombe in 1986, and much heavier.
(Original Lyon photo is facially still like Rik Sloane? maybe i'm wrong?)

Anyhoo, a point on the "drug" thing and if this is the Lyon 1000m TT race,
an interesting anecdote (below).
I have always maintained that if drugs plays a part in competition, LUCK does moreso.
It would have been seen that Kiritchenko was the best rider on the day, but ended up with Bronze.Aug. 15, 1989 1:32 PM ET
LYON, FRANCE LYON, France (AP) _ Jens Glucklich of East Germany won the one-kilometer time trial
Tuesday at the World Cycling Championships after Olympic champion Alexandre Kiritchenko
of the Soviet Union broke a handlebar less than 200 meters from the finish.
Glucklich was timed in 1 minute, 04.032 seconds. Kiritchenko, the last rider on the track,
was ahead of Glucklich's pace after two of the three laps when his right handlebar
of his cycle came loose. He had to throw it away and finished in 1:05.060.
Second was the 1987 champion, Martin Vinnicombe of Australia, in 1:04.950.
Later, Kiritchenko was given the chance to race again but refused because of the hot weather.
He holds the indoor world record of 1:02.576.

How did you go dragging your big brain up all those hills on your retro ride?
No place for words and ideas where the "Man in the ring must stand up" Physical effort always humbles the keyboard warrior in us all.
