[Closed] Velodrome spoilers....

You know yesterday's WR ride in qualification? They didn't even bother getting that verified cos they knew they'd break it again today.

🙂

Men's sprint now...!

Kenny up first!

Kenny's ride was just a formality really...

Was rather, wasn't it? Very much in control of that race.

Bauge looking comfortable as well.

Bauge vs Kenny looks likely - that should be interesting! Love that cable cam they've got on the back straight.

Bauge barely tried there...going to be hard to beat but fingers crossed
Women do indeed look awesome/unbeatable
[smug]We do rule the world of cycling dont we [/smug]

[smug]We do rule the world of [s]cycling[/s] sports you do sitting down don't we [/smug]

FTFY! 🙂

Go Trinidad!

At least Forsterman (spl?) has the MTB to look forward to....!

That decision to relegate the Venezuelan was just plain wrong. Aussie was in the wrong, he should not have gone through. (AS far as I can see, anyway!)

Can't believe they dq'd the venuzealan! Forstermann the 'mtb' rider beaten though.

Awang is the guy who ended up with that splinter of Manchester track in his leg.

CFH - you're right (IMHO), nothing wrong with the Aus/Ven sprint.

That commissionaire wants a good kick in the gonads, what ****er.

Decision was right re aussie.....replay was too short. Infringement/movement happened just before the replay BBC kept showing. Perkins coming up inside after other rider left red line, then he moved back. Perkins did well to stay up.

Odd disqualification he had the line
@ cpt 😀

....then left it, then moved back. Watch it again.

....and Jamie Staff looks like Damien Hirst with those spec's. 🙂

Ah OK, they've just shown the full Aus/Ven sprint - yeah fair play. Looks like the decision has been reversed again.

Yep. Fair call in the end. Close one, but fair.

Ooh, points race - let the confusion reign!

Just hope Bolton's finest (kenny) can do Bauge when it matters.

lets hope Hugh Porter can keep up 🙂

😆

I always think omnium races look like they should have boudicca style axle spikes on the bikes.

No chance!

To be fair, during the omnium, there is a chance that the nonsense he spouts turns out to be correct, just through luck rather than skilled analysis of course.

Shall we have a Porter drinking game?

Take a gulp of your ale every time he;
Gets a name wrong
Gets a country wrong
Says "In the shake up"

Any others? 🙂

Shall we have a Porter drinking game

There can be no winners of this game.

"And here's the head of the race coming through now... oh no, I beg your pardon, that's the back of it..."

😳

Oh dear Christ, someone please retire him

"they're coached by Gary Sutton" - he has said that EVERY time he sees an aussie.

"in the form of her his/life " when clearly they're not.

Poor Ed, he must be wrecked after last nights pursuit and he's been unlucky in this one missing out on the break or the decisive move each time. 🙁

Gary Sutton mentioned - IMBIBE!

*Goosebumps now...*

This is getting repetitive 🙂

OK, Margin Walker and I will retire gracefully from this thread!

NEW WR a mere 90 minutes after setting their previous benchmark. WOW

They were flying. Nearly rear ended the Americans.

Epic win is epic.

WELL DONE

how many women does MacCartney have?

Literally untouchable them as a unit and us a as a cycling nation

Cpt - cricket spoiler if you are not staying up to date

Thanks, Junky! Hadn't looked for a while. Good to see he's still got it!

Cpt - cricket spoiler if you are not staying up to date

Sorry, there are other sports going on?? ❓

/does not compute

Aye those south africans can bat eh 😉

Why can't McCartney just **** off?

his daughter looked embarrassed

LOL @ "South Africans"! 🙂

Agreed on the whole "Ooh look, there's a sleb in the crowd" loblocks. No one cares about Mcartney. We care about the utterly awesome performance of the team who really count, not some washed up ex-pop singer.

Porter is surpassing himself in this devil.

viviani

Coquard....

LOLz at kwalitee name! Sounds rude....

what a quality race

Feel sorry for Ed, he was shattered at the end of that.

Sack Hugh Porter please BBC.

Amazing performances by all! Unreal! 8)

Did Ed manage to get his foot unclipped about 4 laps from his elimination?

I might be being really stupid, but can anybody direct me towards a website with a video of the men's elimination race? BBC or otherwise? I cant find it!

Here we go again!

Queen Victoria off in the Sprint rounds....making it look easy!
