Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

[coffeejo]

Hi Jo, James & Marchant got top time in the sprint qualifying with Vogel and Hansen (of NZ) fairly close, Cav just going in the omnium scratch race now, about 40-ish laps to go.

James and Marchant posted the fastest sprint qualifying times.

Thanks.

16 ish laps to go

Right, made it. What have I missed?

I had roasted chicken breast with green peppers and tomatoes for dinner.

 

[HF2300]

Cav's missed the crucial break.

 

[HF2300]

Wish they'd show wider shots so we could work out wtf is going on

 

[smutchin]

Hansen looks strong.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Cav gets sixth, whatever that means

Cav's missed the crucial break.

Or picked the wrong break and had to limit his losses after that.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Bugger, forgot there was the losers sprint before the GB boys

Glaetzer v Dmitriev should be tasty!

Or picked the wrong break and had to limit his losses after that.

Well, don't know if he was out of legs after chasing the earlier break or just missed the later one, but whichever way, Kluge and Hansen would have been a good break to be on (and not just in hindsight!)

 

[HF2300]

Great timing & tactics by Dmitriev.

 

[smutchin]

I think Skinner might nick this.

Ease off, old boy, the losers don't get a second bite at the bronze cherry.
