Olympic Cycling - SPOILERS

[mjr]

I have enormous respect for the people who officiate the long track events - points, scratch, Madison and the like. How the hell do they keep tabs on who has gained a lap, who has been lapped and how many times, where the back of the group is.

They train by watching the washing machine and counting how many laps each sock does.

We won a bronze so was well worth it.

Malaysian guy DQd for overtaking the Derny. Given the massive blind eye turned to Carlin's behaviour last night that's a pretty shocking.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Keirins restarted with a full field before.

Crazy Madison!

 

[MasterDabber]

A disgusting move by the Dutch rider.... totally deliberate... should be DQ'd and banned.

The Dutch guy took our guy good and proper

 

[kingrollo]

Crazy Madison!

Did a Dutch rider head butt one of the English guys ?

 

[alicat]

^^^ yes - Ollie Wood

 

[kingrollo]

^^^ yes - Ollie Wood

Couldn't believe what I was seeing.

It was like a scene from Ben Hur !

 

[alicat]

^^^ indeed!

Did a Dutch rider head butt one of the English guys ?

A deliberate move in my opinion. He moved down towards Ollie Wood and headbutted him as he went past.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Even worse, we ended up getting -20 points for being overlapped.

That looked a horrible crash, BBC just took the cycling off air because of it. Hope he is okay

 

[Supersuperleeds]

He's okay, well I say okay, he's conscious
