A race of couples was held on Wednesday 30th September 2009 on the SK Rapid oval cyclodrom in Plzen and it was a big show indeed. A large number of teams (couples) competed on a race track called Madison. The distance to go being several tens of kilometers. Members of the team alternated during the race. Whilst one member of the team couple was going slowly, trying to save energy, the other was trying complete the oval in the meantime. Then they exchanged their roles in a rather peculiar way. The faster one had to catch the slower one by hand and throw him forward to give him the initial boost. He could then slow down, whilst his team fellow was speeding up to complete the round before they changed their roles again.

The throwing itself requires a lot of experience. Any physical contact between the cyclists at high speed is dangerous, considering that there is another 15 teams racing around you. So the race is quite demanding. Furthermore there are time trials within the race. The winner is the couple that completed the highest number of rounds. If two teams are equal as far as the number of rounds is concerned, the team with higher time trial score wins. The number of rounds is not set in advance, it depends on the organizers.

Duratec was represented by an experienced couple: Jiri Jezek and Vaclav Zvonar this time. We all hope that this competition was not the last one this season. We are looking forward to the upcoming fantastic shows and if you come, we can guarantee, you will not get bored.
