00:00San Quantan and Neville's venue, this beautiful and splendid melodrome
00:06will be a battlefield for all the world's best track bicycle racers
00:12for their respective missions, including the national track bicycle racers
00:17Dato' Azul Hasni Awang, Syafi Dausarub and Nurul Izzah Izzati
00:21where their mission is to bring home the main medal from Dato' Azul
00:27who will be the 5th in the Olympics
00:31This velodrome offers a unique and different challenge
00:36compared to other velodromes
00:38because the ramps are higher and also shorter
00:43compared to other venues
00:45It promises to be a tough and difficult challenge
00:49for all the racers who will race in the 2024 Paris Olympics
00:53Dato', describe the velodrome track in Paris
00:56I've raced on the Paris Saint-Quentin track a few times
01:01but this time, the track looks cleaner and brighter
01:04because it has been polished
01:06so it will be a bit faster on the day of the race
01:09However, today is our first session for training
01:13As usual, since yesterday's travelling, our legs feel a bit heavy
01:17and today's session is a bit tight and compressed
01:20because first, in between the effort
01:23we have to make a short profile from the organisers
01:26so our rest time is short
01:28and also we have to come back a bit earlier
01:31instead of our bus at 1pm, we have to come back at 12.10pm
01:34because if not, we will be stuck here until 3pm
01:37because the road is closed for the road race today
01:40But anyway, the first session was smooth
01:43I'm happy
01:45and I believe that in the next session
01:48I will get better
01:50That's normal when we fight back our fatigue and acidlatics
01:55So today, just to get the feeling and test the gears
02:00for the next session and the race day
02:02Is there any difference in the track?
02:05The track is a bit different
02:07If you can see, the transition is a bit steep
02:11but it's short
02:13So we have to change our approach for flying 200
02:19And also for the carrying
02:21the racing pattern is a bit different
02:23because the cornering is a bit long
02:25it's a bit round at the corner
02:27instead of a short corner
02:29So it's different
02:31So for the carrying, we will think about it later
02:34because we focus on the sprint first
02:37So inshallah, for the next session
02:39we will do one practice for 200m flying
02:42and one session we will focus on the carrying effort
02:46After that, we will see the transition
02:49and match with the gearing
