Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

If you were watching on BBC1, the coverage wasn't live. He tweeted it - it was on the BBC live update..

Coverage wasn't live but he wasn't commentating on the live coverage so I assumed it was the first time he said it - wasn't watching his Twitter.

It's practically impossible for her to lose from here, she has more than 20 points on the second placed rider, so she just needs to make sure she picks up sprint points periodically and she will be home and dry. What a performance.

Don't forget if someone gets a lap on her most of that buffer has gone - it's not just the sprints.

I think Vogel will go through - I'm awful at predictions - hopefully.

 

[HF2300]

Vogel too good, too powerful. Good ride though.

 

[smutchin]

Can't argue with that. Brilliant by Vogel.

Boo!

Shame but Vogel's clearly worth at least a silver. And Marchant's worth a bronze.

 

[coffeejo]

It'll be one hell of a final.

Watching our success here, I can't help but reflect on our failure to qualify for the women's team sprint. In hindsight it seems mad we couldn't make it work

 

[HF2300]

Boo!

Shame, but realistically it was always likely to be Vogel's. It'll do Marchant a lot of good racing against tough competition like Vogel at these big events though; even if she does lose, she'll learn a lot. Her time will come.

 

[HF2300]

Go Kenny!

Let's hope funding and support for track cycling continues to grow.

 

[HF2300]

Wow! That was extraordinary!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Go Kenny!

And he went!

 

[coffeejo]

Fantastic!!!

 

[Buddfox]

Incredible - he finished a day before everyone else
