We were back at Nara Keirin yesterday for the second day of a three day meeting...
Just a usual day at the races really, we were not betting this time, our aim was to try to get some good shots of the bikes and the action...
Then on the run in of the final race of the day a bit of drama...
...A loud bang was heard as the riders sprinted for the line, then the sound of metal hitting metal, it turned out a spoke had popped in a rider's front wheel causing the tyre to blow. Thankfully no riders were injured or even fell off. Unfortunately our camera wasn't fast enough to capture the action but you can see the busted bike being carried off in the top left of the picture below...
