Cycling - The Madison?

Haha it is complex,

I have the hang of it but would take so much time to type out.
 
One of the rules is a bit worrying....

Riders may relieve each other at any time during the race.
 
Not that hard to work out...

I got it withing 5 mins of the commentator going through it.

Dumb twats.
 
One racer from each team goes round and around around. They can swap by handslinging their partner in. You win by lapping other people and being really really fast at the sprint laps (which come every 20 laps). That's what I make of it.
 
You win if you have the most points from each sprint which happens every 20 laps as long as you are not lapped
