There doesn’t appear to be much atmosphere in this velodrome. In London the noise was incredible, cheering and clapping for everything and then when the Brits got onto the track just this amazing crescendo of sound.

Unless there’s something wrong with the sound here, it all seems rather subdued.

Hand crafted by Boardman in his shed and tested in his personal wind tunnel before slapping Cervelo stickers on.

Nice ride from the Danish team from Bronze, technically very smart. Surprised that NZ let it go so soon.

Right, Team GB – bring it on!

When we are so much better than the others, why am i still shitting it?

This is not going well.
Shouting at TV now.

Haul ass guys

ya dancer

Back of the net!

OMG – a gap in the last lap, and they still did a WR!

I honestly thought they’d lost it when that gap opened up – who is the nails rider who managed to actually close it?

Crikey, that was too close for comfort.

That was a calm, patient, mostly well calculated ride. Good work GB!! I was almost shouting at the tv.

Christ

I think it took until about the last lap for Australia to park up – they must have lost a lot there despite the gap

I headbutted the light fitting in the living room. Wow that was a thriller. Chuffed to bits for them.

Did that chap shout “F*** yeah”?

The Aussies just did a time which would have been the world record this morning

Phelps might have 22, but I’d far rather go for a beer with those 3 gents and their ‘only’ 16.

F*** yeah he did.
