Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

[deptfordmarmoset]

Fekking BBC TV keeps promising cycling and letting us down. Yesterday when Mens elimination was running, the same hockey match was on 2 channels simultaneously. Now on BBC 2, promised cycling, get Gymnastics.

Less than impressed

Yes, it's because we never win medals at the Velodrome.....

12.793 - a pb for Cav.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

PB for Cav, 2nd.

Good effort by Cav. Boudat off the pace, only Viviani to go...

 

[iandg]

Good ride from Cav

 

[coffeejo]

Cav now in provisional silver.

 

[huggy]

BBC 2 to watch it now!

it's my special power (along with making cake disappear).

Good special power to have - the cake, I mean.

 

[smutchin]

Points race is going to be very interesting. Viviani looking strong. Cav will have to do something special to take gold, still not confident he'll even finish in the medals.

12.793 - a pb for Cav.

Chris Hoy to Cav earlier "You'll get a 12.8"

Chris Hoy to Cav earlier "You'll get a 12.8"

And now he just looks silly...

Either will be doing well to beat Kennett's time.

As you said, indeed. Not much difference between Cav or Viv in the end. Kennett was a surprise.

So, farewell then, Anna Meares...

It's on BBC Olympic channel 6 at least it is on free sat

Thanks, I'll nip out and buy one only freeview here and the TV is only a few years old & was quite expensive new. Taking the Mick cutting red button so recent and when it is available simply duplicating another channels output.

Two days running they've promised cycling and given us something else and without the same level of British interest involved.

So, farewell then, Anna Meares...

They're writing her obituary in the commentary.
