He seems to be happy in himself there – hope he can get something out of this.

Wasn’t Trott flipping quick there? Last 2 laps on the front and nobody could get round her.

You need to find the BBC1 coverage on iPlayer (go to channels and schedule). It was on just before I posted, so just before 15:00.

How does his flying lap stack up vs the rest? I mean, we know he’s quick and his TT/Pursuit performance suggests he has some decent stamina built in too, so hopefully he can score well in that ‘controllable’ environment.

Then looks like there’s half a dozen or eight still in contention, so points race will have to be contested rather than just marking someone else out of it, so maybe sprint points will become vital as opposed to trying to steal laps.

I think the evening entertainment’s sorted then.

Hoy seemed to think he would be a lot better at that than the pursuit and kilo, so should be promising. Was talking him up for the flying lap in the “interview” mentioned above.

Chakaping – we’re only borrowing her and Jason 🙂

Another type of riding here, Charlotte DuJardin just won gold. Yay.

Hammers bike… Crankset on other side, why? Any ideas, left handed;)

Interesting, how wide is the line between a sod all and a marginal gain?

160 laps of points racing.
This could either be a nailbiting race to the wire or a total yawn-fest…

That didn’t look good

Cav – WTF?
Totally caused a big crash then.

Might he be disqualified?

Edit, just saw post above!

Wtf is Cav up to?

He may as well go sit down. Really stupid thing to do. No way can he go unpenalised.

genuine accident though, does that hold weight?

Arrogant or clumsy?

How does that work with the leader on the deck for 4 laps?

Is he allowed to just rejoin?

Total bulldozer move by Cavendish….

It’s extremely risky and very stupid to attempt a deliberate crash on the track and besides, taking out the Korean was of no benefit to anyone. 99% of the time in anything like that, both riders will go down.

It was a thoroughly stupid move but not deliberate.

Looked like a stupid move for cab, but I don’t understand how if you crash you can just sit down and have a rest for a few laps and join back in and count as being on the same lap?
