Men's Keirin The final of the Men's Keirin lived up to it's promise as a wild race with several riders falling including French star Florian Rousseau. Rousseau was taken to Antwerp hospital, with doctors finding no major damage, although he has several bruises, burns and contusions to show for his day. The race was won by Australian Ryan Bayley who had already picked up a silver in Thursday's Olympic Sprint final. Bayley claimed the Keirin title the hard way, coming last in his qualifying heat and avoiding a fall in his repecharge. "I was already content with the silver medal for the Olympic Sprint, to gain the Keirin, that is fantastic!," said Bayley.
Bayley was considerably helped to his win by compatriot Jobie Dajka, who was later disqualified from the race. "The two Australian's (Bayley and Dajka) ran the front with Dajka controlling everyone," said Laurent Gané from France who came in second. The fall in the race brought down everyone bar Bayley and Gane with eventual third place getter German Jens Fiedler, picking up his bike and running the last 170 metres to the finish line. The crash happened on the last lap of the race, leaving Bayley and Gane to sprint for the finish. "It is a shame that the commissioners did not sanction out the faults with the Keirin from the beginning of the season. The Keirin, it is not to go to the contact, it is a sprint," said Gane. Dajka, disqualified in the race felt that contact is part of the Keirin. "Falling is one of the risks of the Keirin," he said. "Gane bumped me slightly, then I saw only arms and wheels around me," Dajkka added. PhotographyRyan Bayley
