Baugé's left himself open twice. Dmitriev was too strong this time.

I thought I was watching the only link. No!

Found it, it's linking correctly from the schedule now - they were obviously a bit slow setting it up.

Didn't look so cool tonight

thanks. Kenny's at 20:21 for those who are catching up.

2 GB sprinters won first rides easily

I ignored that thinking they were showing us what had happened earlier!

Just seen Skinner's ride. Great leg speed, looked really fast.

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.

I think Vogel's brilliant, I've seen her do some amazing stuff.

I don't think James will try the same tactic twice and to be fair, there are so many variables in a Keirin the tactics will always be a bit play it by ear.

A Kenny - Skinner final would be amazing, but as you say Glaetzer will try to get in on the act.

As for the Dutch girl, I'm more amazed no-one got seriously hurt in what was a pretty bad crash.

I now wonder whether we're writing Dmitriev off too soon though. Strong and tactically astute.

Bloody electric bikes. Useless.

Get some noise, get some fumes. Proper Derny.

Russian took the Columbian out there.

I don't think we're writing him off, just commenting on Glaetzer - in fact, I nearly said one or two others will want to get in on the act.

Easy for Vogel in the end there, though partly because of the incident behind her.

She was a class apart from everyone else just now.

Come on Becky!!! Big race.

After all these years, still no one at the BBC knows how to pronounce Krupeckaite.
