What's with the pads?

This short from the Nagoya Keirin Golden Dolphin should explain everything you need to know. I also use it mentally for do or die sprints and has gotten me on the podium more than once.. Keep with you always.

This. Keirin racing is an event to generate revenue from sanctioned gambling. The special rules for equipment and riders are to prevent match fixing.

Pads reduce the likelihood of serious injury from crashes. Any disadvantages that come from wearing pads are negated since every rider has to wear them.

Shockingly there's more than one Keirin anime in existence and this isn't the worst one.

yeah that's normal in sprints. sprints are a fucking bloodsport. I'm still annoyed at how Sagan got DQed in 2017 after getting a little rough with fucking Cavendish of all people. Of course he did, it was Cav and Cav was doing something retarded and deserved to eat shit, the greasy fuck. 2020 was bullshit too. fucking commissaires should know better than anyone that anything goes in a sprint at that level

Any good sites for getting legit keirin stuff? Those shorts look sick.
