Makes you wonder, why on earth did they drop the individual pursuit from the Olympics? makes no sense.

Brilliant. Forgot how exciting track racing is.
I will spend tomorrow riding round extremely slowy whilst looking suspiciously over my right shoulder 🙂

I do that most of the time, although I do look over my left shoulder occasionally just to spice things up.

The Chinese girl getting the gold on the podium looked like she has just seen her pet rabbit shot, needs to cheer up a bit.

Just got back in from being there. can't believe the number of people that left before the omnium eliminator; you missed the best race of the night - the crowd was screaming like it was the finish every other lap as Laura managed to somehow come second last or thereabouts at the death, only to find that second last in a two woman race is the same as first.

I'm hoarse, and my dad thinks it's the most exciting sporting event he's ever seen live. He's gutted that he's 74 and probably won't get to see many more events of this class live.

Forsterman's final sprint against Sireau - hahaha! He did exactly that against Chris Hoy a year or so ago.

The highlight for me was the Women's Team Pursuit breaking the world record. I was watching it from track centre and the noise and atmosphere was just incredible.

I was there last night. Atmosphere was amazing. So much support for the Brit team from the crowd. Need to get myself to a TV for the Olympics, and somewhere I can jump around and make a racket 🙂

Great to see Brit team do so well. Maybe us regular riders will begin to get some respect out on the road. About time...
