Commonweath Games cycling (Track & Road) (Spoilers)

Go Pooley! Can't believe the size of some of the time gaps though.

I hope Villumsen's weight won't help her gain too much time on the downhill.

Watching and hoping ..... At the moment. Did anyone make it to the side of the road?

 

[HF2300]

That narrow left hander through the lights looks awkward, bit of a wobble from Archibald. Would be great to see her get 3rd.

Tuft and Durbridge look decent e/w bets at 10/1 given their decent TT performances in the tour. G's 20/1 and above.

P.S. Let it be a warning to anyone considering those bets that I sit bottom of the pro tour prediction thread on 0 points.

 

[HF2300]

That's a shame for Archibald.

 

[HF2300]

Fingers crossed now!

 

[summerdays]

Oh

 

[HF2300]

Blow.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Harrumph!

 

[HF2300]

Wasn't that tense though, and close.

Great rides by all those women. Wouldn't have fancied those wet/dry bends on a TT bike when you are busting several guts.

 

[HF2300]

No. I'm not sure of the course differences, but those manhole covers and bits of cobbles could play a big role in the mens', particularly if the rain comes down.

I can't help leaning towards Dowsett and Millar. Both quick on the right day, and given Millar's retiring he might really want it. Or they might be saving their energy for the road race.

Great ride by Katie Archibald too. She seems to pop up wherever I am. Seen her on the track at Manchester and also slaughtering the field in Stoke in the circuit race thing I can't remember the name of. Versatile, powerful and brave kid.
