CONT

Traditionally, a motorcycle based vehicle called a "DERNYS" has been used as the pacer in Keirin bicycle racing, but due to problems like the noise of these vehicles, there was a call for quieter, more environment-friendly vehicles like the Yamaha PAS to allow the athletes to better focus on their racing.

CONT

A rider shall be disqualified should he/she pass the rear of the back wheel of the pacer whilst the pacer is on the track.
