It’s warming up nicely

Oh yeah
And cfh gets Olympic speed posting record

I’m not sure I wanted to know that

My local has it on ! Hurrah.
Could be a three pint night. 🙂

So do we think the aussies are going to step up their game for team pursuit tonight?

I guess you screwed anyway if you’re slow enough to get caught but it screws you even more as the front guy can’t peel off while the other team is overtaking

Australia into the Gold/Silver ride – let’s see if they go against GB or NZ!

Bloody hell, World & Olympic records falling like skittles!

Wow

Me too. Mind, Australia had to work just as hard, if not harder, to get a time that was about 3 seconds / 50 mtrs slower.

Wouldn’t high air pressure make it faster?
No, you want low pressure. Less pressure = less air to push aside. That’s why they increase the temperature, it makes the air less dense. If you can combine that with some bad weather (low pressure) outside, you’re on for some very fast times.

Cheers, I knew they increased the temperature but for some reason, (a lack of understanding of basic physics probably) I thought that was to raise air pressure rather than lower it.

Hence why tracks at altitude are faster as well, but then you have to balance lower oxygen levels and their effect on aerobic respiration vs the benefit of reduced air resistance.

An important balancing act for doing the hour record. For the TP (and pretty much all other standard track events) it’s so anaerobic that there’s not a significant disadvantage to altitude – at least not the sort of altitudes they build cycling tracks at.

More to come in final then.

Me too.
They just cheered for Kenny.like a goal was scored.:-)
It may be 4 pints . Woop.

China just beat Russia.
Given that we know Russia are doping, I imagine they’re both cheating.
