Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

[HF2300]

First world problem - Does anyone else find it difficult to differentiate between the dark blue of the Team GB kit and the black of New Zealand on the high up camera angles?

Yes.

 

[HF2300]

This going to end in a sprint?

But they have white (UK) and black (NZ) helmets, I assume they had a deliberate policy of having to have different coloured helmets for that reason.

Yes, certainly on the live streams.

That was a long time on the front with Hammer unable to get alongside.

OK will try to post a bit more meaningfully. Slow scratch race, Sharakova jumped away with 16 or so laps to go and made a lap, then it ended in a sprint with Trott comfortably on the front. Trott, D'Hoore, Hammer then a little gap to the rest.

That's it for the afternoon, resumes at 20:00

They're not black. Saw a rider next to a coach who was wearing black clothing and you could see they were dark navy.

As Father Ted said: Never buy black socks from a normal shop. They shaft you every time!

Thanks for the updates. Out and about this afternoon and can't watch. Life should come to a halt when the few sports that I like are actually on the TV, live, as they happen. Most inconvenient.

I was sure she was going to get caught. Very glad to be proved wrong. Very impressive.

Very difficult to watch and not show any excitement when sitting in a meeting

Had to get involved in the discussion when the women's scratch race was on and missed it.
