BREXIT KEIRIN

摘要

The keirin, an Olympic cycle race designed to baffle TV audiences every four years, is not the most obvious metaphor for Brexit. Six riders wobble behind an electric bicycle for five laps of the track before a brief and chaotic dash for the line. In this instance, imagine the riders are not member states but companies preparing for the UK's exit from the EU and you start to see my point: Brexit is a competition between companies as well as a race that requires speed, skill and tactical nous.
