Anyway...

Just caught up with the early action I missed. A few thoughts...

1. Vogel is a bit quick.

2. Can Becky James get away with that tactic in the later rounds? Is she strong and/or fast enough?

3. How the hell did the Dutch rider stay on the track and upright?

4. Kenny vs Skinner in the final? Glaetzer might have something to say about that. Looks like a great three-way contest.

1. Very true.
2. She's normally pretty good tactically. That tactic suited her in that race but I doubt she'll try it again.
3. I've no idea and she can't have been more than a couple of inches of landing amongst the spectators. Commentators were pretty scathing of Cueff but Van Rijssen (sp) was squeezing her off the track until the moment that Cueff leant into her to keep on line. Once she leant into someone moving away the whole thing became completely off balance. But I thought it was the end result of legally defending her line.
4. Tasty indeed. I'll guess Kenny, Glaetzer, Skinner. (Don't mind being wrong.)
