Dubman 4 - 3 by Team GB consecutively

It’s a fast track. Should see loads of records broken this week and loads of golds coming our way.

Dubman apparently, it’s the temperature that’s making it fast - makes the air thinner

Been on the track a few times and it’s mental how much wind resistance is a factor - feels like a massive headwind all the way round when obviously, it’s perfectly still indoors

Dubman

That sounds very strange. No wind but you can still feel the resistance. That hope bike they use does look very aerodynamic. Must be quite hard to steer with those very narrow bars

Along_the_Wire

Dubman There’s next to no steering, the track takes you round

You’re going fast, you can really feel the resistance.

Consummate run by Keely Hodgkinson. Looked in total control.

alistair She closed out so strong. It’s insane how fast they all are.

Wasn’t it.

She is a class act.

This Swedish pole vaulter guy is putting on a clinic.

303abuser Monumental wasn’t it

alistair Yeah that was a pretty cool scene. The entire stadium behind him and his competitors right there to support him.

Smallman1 let’s hope Jim no Josh Kerr can do the business tonight

Dubman

Another bronze for Sky. It did look like she done the same tricks on every run

Along_the_Wire

Dubman Yup, she fucked it. It’s amazing how shit women are at BMX and skating compared to the men

Dan

Dubman She’s no Andy Ruffle!

Along_the_Wire incredible, I hope Remco, Pog and Jonas can reach the start line at the Tour next year in good condition, it’ll make for some race. I think he can be a better overall rival for Tadej.

Along_the_Wire

LT42 I don’t think Remco is a grand tour guy. Can’t seen him beating Pog and Vinny

This 1500m final should be a cracker.

303abuser

mono-stereo Was just about to say the same, looking forward to this one.

303abuser

Fucking shit CBC stream crashed 400m into the race. Fantastic.

LT42

Along_the_Wire hopefully he’ll grow into it over the coming years and make it interesting at least. I sometimes forget how young they all are.
