The Blue Line?
The blue line, the highest one on the track, is called the "stayers line." It marks the inside of the track area used for high-speed motorbike-paced cycle racing. Also, in Madison racing (where riders race in teams of two or three) the rider who is racing uses the shortest part of the track, the inside, whilst the resting partners ride slowly around above the blue line out of the way. When one of the resting partners is to be relayed into the race, he drops below the blue line links hands with the racing partner to transfer speed and carries on racing flat-out. The partner who was racing rolls up above the blue line to recover.
