Olympic cycling - track and road (may contain spoilers)

[MrGrumpy]

Was listening on the radio, just as an overview, it would appear that everyone else has caught up and passed us in terms of performance. Looking back it was a golden era and we might just not have the talent coming through now.

It seems they have decided: Filippo Ganna vs Team Elastoplast in the final.

Or is it still rumbling on?

 

[Beebo]

Wasn’t even close!

Techy talk on the bikes .... £25k for the Worx bike

Final is tomorrow, isn't it, so no need to rush the decision and get it wrong?

 

[Beebo]

Men’s sprint silver.
Women’s team pursuit silver.

Its good, but not what we are used to.

For the moment it's looking like catch made - race won.

Yes. GB are out.

I suspect Kenny may retire too.

Cycling is definitely the winner in the complicated rules competition, what with aero leg tape and guns and catches and so on. Athletics can only offer a feeble high jump countback system.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Great stuff! An OR/WR fest.

I suspect both Kennys will call it a day after these games.
Great careers, top Olympians and will bow out gracefully with a couple more medals between them.

It's not over yet, they'll have a chance of getting a more medals in the next few days.

You go where you look. The Danish rider was looking at the track and that's where he went.

The third GB rider was still riding for a time so was entitled to be where he was. I think the Dane thought he was a dropped #4 and was berating him for being on the racing line.

The Danish Team men's pursuit are the fastest team by a long way, they'll deserve their Gold medals.

Especially if they mow down the opposition
