I'm thinking of applying for some tickets for the velodrome stuff, just want to check what is what so I can decide what session or 2 to try for.
Mens team pursuit, that's Bradley Wiggins and co's intended event
womens team pursuit, errrr Houvengal and co?
Keirin - that's the mad sprint that starts behind the moped - Chris Hoy
mens team sprint, that's the one with 3 guys, 3rd being Hoy who get's launched at the line
Womens team sprint - who will likely go in that for team GB?
omnium....the mad cap one with about 20 teams of 2, goes for an hour or so, sprints every 10 laps or so and points also gained for gaining a lap?...anyone know the difference between the 'flying lap' race and the 30k race (cle might be in the name forthat one I guess)
Men's sprint - Hoy
womens sprint - Pendelton
Have I got that right?
mostly right - the 'mad cap one' is the madison.
Omnium is a multi race event (6 races) contested by individual riders - by 6 races - 6 disciplines including pursuit, time trial, points race etc.
Womens sprint likely to be Vicky Pendleton and Jess Varnish or Sheanaze (sp?) Reade
Ah cheers...I was thinking to myself my 'omnium' sounded like the madison!
Reade not doing the bmx anymore then? Or is she riding both?
right so, highlighting people and medal possibles...
