I'm amazed that they reach the speeds they do on those bikes, what with the front wheel going backwards!

70 Km/hr in the mens sprint and 65 Km/hr in the womens, that is not just fast that is almost flying. The only times I could reach those speeds would be riding over the edge of a high cliff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keith - can you get THIS

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/live_action/7566055.stm

It's the live feed from BBC

 

[Keith Oates]

I've got it here at the moment, thanks but the servers out here play 'tricks' at times. Sometimes I get CC, cyclogs, cyclingnews with no bother, on other times it just gets kicked out but I don't know why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Keith Oates]

I see Vicky is through to the 1/4 finals so all's well on that front at the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic ride by the Malaysian rider in the mens sprint. Nice wheelie

 

[Dayvo]

Someone keeps taking a pot-shot at the teams as they ride passed in the team pursuit! Is it an angry trainer who wants to 'gee' his team up a bit?

 

[Dayvo]

The team of Derney riders New Zealand team look quite tasty!

 

[marinyork]

Another team final tomorrow then

 

[Keith Oates]

It looks good with another record broken in getting into the final. From what I've read somewhere the Danes are also a good team so there can be no slacking by the Brits during the final!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loathe this "Team GB" nonsense and why can't the racing be done around the athletics track in front of 90,000 people. You have motor bike racing on flat tracks so why not cycling? Also there is no atmosphere in the velodrome. It is livelier at your local bingo night.

You are a tedious troll.

Thank-you.

You are a tedious troll.

My conclusion, too!

Ludwig, I refer you to the advice I gave some moments ago.... get out on your bike!
