Continuing with the TMN theme...

I understand the Colombians are challenging Cav's medal but I can't see it sticking, partly because it was a racing incident, partly because it's the day after the event.

Australia seem to have lost the plot

Just watched the incident again and looked more like the Korean's fault to me

Phew, Becky James only just won that heat. One down...

Have always wanted to see someone do what Marchant did - go for it much earlier and just maintain a big gap. Nice ride

 

[coffeejo]

Brilliant ride from Marchant!

 

[Buddfox]

Love how they eye each other up at the start

Just watched the incident again and looked more like the Korean's fault to me

Most of the clips I've seen only show the incident and not a wide angle shot of the seconds leading up to it (so I don't see where the Korean came from). From what I can see Cavendish looked twice - 1 good look then a quick glance. I think the Korean just moved quickly out of his blind spot into his space. It's happened to me on a few occasions in the past. You always take a risk when you choose to move through on the inside of another rider at speed.

Click bait but amusing nonetheless.

She did pretty much what Welte did to her in the previous round, but to much more devastating effect. Smart, and quite amusing.
