Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

[smutchin]

New Olympic record for GB on the first run!

On what is supposed to be a slow track too.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

That Calum Skinner is a bit quick, isn't he?

He was excellent!

Now, WR for the Germans?

Maybe not...

 

[HF2300]

Germany not too good either

 

[smutchin]

Crazy how many teams are making a pig's breakfast of the first lap.

 

[HF2300]

Germany made a real hash of that. Both France and Germany in the 43s though.

That Callum Skinner is a bit quick, isn't he?

I'm faster than that..... in my sleep !

 

[iandg]

France looked good but not as fast

 

[Buddfox]

Can someone explain how this qualifying works? Is it a 'time trial' with the fastest squads going to a knock out?

 

[fossyant]

The size of some of those lads !

 

[fossyant]

WE are still fastest !

 

[HF2300]

NZ into the 42s as well

 

[iandg]

No wonder the dutch were slow, the coach gave them all a dead arm while they were on the start line

 

[fossyant]

GB - two team Cervelos and one 'secret squirrel' bike.

 

[HF2300]

GB - two team Cervelos and one 'secret squirrel' bike.

They're supposed to be Cervelo T5GBs

Seeding for the finals based on finish time then a semi-final knock-out (fastest against 4th fastest, 2nd vs 3rd) then bronze ride off and then Gold/Silver ride off
