Commonweath Games cycling (Track & Road) (Spoilers)

[HF2300]

Not sure if it's officially pro, but this seems the best place for it. So much good cycling over the next couple of weeks, seemed worth discussing?

There is a track cycling sub forum - http://www.cyclechat.net/forums/track-cycling.56/ - but what the heck!

The Aussies took that team pursuit gold with style. England came nowhere near for their silver.

Got hammered by the Aussies in the pursuit. Poor Brad, missing a bit of track fat.

I thought about it, but somehow here seemed more appropriate, and I thought we could do road and track in one place. I'm sure the mods'll move it if I'm wrong (probably am)

Brad was still looking pretty skinny on the podium, but I thought they did well to get the silver given that they haven't performed that well over the last year or so.

What about the Kiwis catching the Canadians after 2250 metres!

The finals of the para tandem were pretty exciting. Looks like lots of fun!

No surprise that the aussies took gold in the team pursuit. Remember that team GB only came 8th in the worlds earlier this year. Wiggins can't fix that in a few weeks.

The English team was pretty much the GB A-team. To get a kicking like that doesn't bode well for Rio. Hopefully some new talent will come through but time isn't on their side.

The time trial goes past my house! Result they smoothed and fixed all the roads up here.

Cheers.

Kenny just jumped Glaetzer (BBC3). Excellent start!

If he doesn't get beaten in the next two then I'll eat my Giro Skyline helmet.

Yes, my thoughts too. His first race smelled of fear.

Dani King up next

Dani King up next

She's looking very smooth on that bike but Edmonson (sp?) put in a very fast time.

 

[HF2300]

Yes, big time gaps in the top three.
