Two Days in April Season 3 Episode 10: Team Pursuit
July 272 Days in April | Season 3, Episode 10 Team Pursuit is Little 500 cycling at its most synchronized—and most unforgiving. Two four-rider teams start on opposite sides of Bill Armstrong Stadium and race 15 laps, chasing both the clock and each other. Riders rotate through the lead, using tight formations and precise pacing to save energy while maintaining maximum speed. The team’s final time is recorded when its third rider crosses the line, so success depends on staying together—not simply having one superstar. It’s a test of fitness, strategy, communication, and trust, where one mistimed pull can change everything. Fast, tactical, and dramatic, Team Pursuit is teamwork on two wheels.

Two Days In April Season 3 Episode 9: Miss N Out
July 262 Days in April | Season 3, Episode 9 Miss N Out is Little 500 cycling with nowhere to hide. Riders battle wheel-to-wheel around Bill Armstrong Stadium, knowing the last cyclist across the line on each elimination lap is DONE. One mistake, one bad position, one moment of hesitation—and your day is over. The field gets smaller, the pace gets faster, and the tension rises with every bell. Survive long enough, and it all comes down to a full-gas final sprint for the podium. Equal parts speed, strategy, nerve, and controlled chaos, Miss N Out is one of the most thrilling events of the Little 500 Spring Series.
