Hi David,
Saturday morning Keirin heats, came up against the world champion Chris Hoy in the 1st round and gave him a run for his money but unfortunately he was just too good. Hope to in his position one day. Went into the repecharge and met a Fushimi a great Japanese rider and a Ukraine, Korean. Tactically for this race worked out just the way I wanted it to and I won the round to get a ride into the semi's where is the top three through to the final on this afternoon. Cheers Perko.

Hi David,   I am just in Copenhagen at the moment very cold here. Racing world cup on the weekend. Feeling good and looking forward to racing. Had a light training track session yesterday with a touch up gym session yesterday afternoon.   Australian titles was very interesting and I am happy with the way I was going. I have learnt a lot about my body from training myself this past 6 months and have a lot more to learn to hit the perfect form. But Australian titles were a great judge although with some controversy in the sprint life goes on…. I would have liked to be in the final of the sprint but ended up with the bronze, and in the team sprint was happy with my times and have a bit of work to get those down before the worlds in end of march. I’m looking forward to the challenge though. The Keirin I was feeling great just got boxed and unable to make a smooth run to the finish. My standing lap early in the week I was happy with as I have not been doing too much concentration on the standing lap this past couple months. But to be doing 17.8 on every occasion I touch the start gate I am very happy with the constancy.   Yours gratefully Shane Perkins
