thats was... ridiculously good
Go Trotty! 😀
Well Wendy?
Flying she knew she could do it and she stormed it.
Holy shit...Trott is a machine!
Double gold medallist at 20....there is some spite directed towards British Cycling/Dave Brailsford re. Wendy Houvenagal in another thread but this is surely the best riposte....the management know the score and have made ALL the right decisions....they are picking the strongest athletes for each event and ushering in a new generation. Bravo.
whooop!
two more golds to come tonight at the track.
I think Laura Trott might just be a little bit barking mad. Don't ya just love her?
Well its Mears vs Pendleton now. I predict hair pulling...
ooooh very close....
Meares with pointy elbows.
cutting it fine, phew
VP by a fag paper. 😯
Meares needs a slap!
Pendleton out of the sprinters lane on that last straight?
Why has vp not been called on crossing the red line?
Meares is a bully.
Did VP pop out of the channel there?
Meares was a bit naughty there, but well done to Pendleton.
Slapped wrist for Mears?
Did VP pop out of the channel there?
She was pushed of line by Meares, then came back a bit too far, not her fault IMO.
Scrub that, getting confusing tweets and stuff.
Mmmm... queeny did leave the channel
They go like road rash, take sticks...
No Effing way!
Yep, I would say that was Meares at fault for elbowing in.
I await the verdict.....
Very barely = out, end of. 🙁
I think they ruled against her...
Fair enough if she was out but to give it to mears is rewarding bad riding. Should null the race and give em both a warning. (mears at fault in the interests of impartiality etc...)
Their immense rivalry epitomised in one moment there. Blimey!
Pendleton relegated for leaving the sprint line
Oh FFS....!
Thats a shocking decision.
why is Hugh Porter speaking over the announcer?
bellend
Relegated as per the rules....however the Aussie was clearly using her elbows to push Pendleton off track....original result should have been left to stand with this explanation from the commisaires.
Its a rule same as in track athletics ,dont leave your lane
Ridiculous
Looked like the right decision to me, sadly.
That commissionaire won't be on VPs Xmas card list
La Pendle will struggle now.
I think the child catcher commissionaire doesn't like Vicky P very much
Looked like the right decision.
But surely if you can't help leaving it then it isn't your fault? You aren't allowed to drive off the track in F1, but if you get forced onto the runoff then the race officials have enough common sense to not penalise you (unless you take the pi$$ of course, but VP didn't in this).
But in track athletics your not allowed to be pushed out of your lane either, she had to swerve back out to avoid being pushed off track completely.
That commissaire won't be on VPs Xmas card list
+1
Shame but guess that's how it goes.
She'll be pissed and hope it makes even more determined.

Still, that Laura Trott is a little monster, int she?
