YAY!! Well done Mads!

I don't really know who that kid is but He's World Champ!

And... do the Aussies plan on getting at least one medal in every category?

 

[theyoungest]

For a complete stab in the dark I'd say my pick of Edwards proved pretty good.

Australian = time trial. Not a complete stab in the dark, of course

That would be the plan, but best laid plans and all that, should be chucked out the window in a couple of hours time

 

[sublimit]

Nah I dont see Pooley winning either, she will go well but somebody like Arndt or Neben for the win i think. Is Vos riding? I must check the startlist properly.

Edit- Vos is riding so will probably have a good chance.

Don't think the Aussies have anyone capable of medalling the Elite Ladies TT today.

Phew! Can't have those Aussies having too much success!

 

[T-Nielsen]

The one race of the whole week , that I do not see on the telly, and then we win. So first of YAY... then a little ARGH because I missed it... then a little more YAY because they are showing it again later.

Oh and readhead, you are wrecking my eyes with those small letters.

 

[RedheadDane]

So far I've missed both races in which Denmark got a medal...

 

[just some guy]

we are live

RC Shaw should be best of the first group, Hughes and J Shaw from the second group will beat her.

It's Azerbaijan looking the goods atm...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Got my name mentioned on Eurosport NL again they might as well hire me now

 

[LukeSchmid]

Yes, I could not find her on CQ rankings but Cycling archives reveals that she is quite good, especially on the track, might have mucked up.

EDIT: Shaw has made up some of the time.

 

[Captain_Cavman]

ITURRIAGAECHEVARRIA MAZAGA - Longest surname in cycling?

 

[mb2612]

It's raining now, that makes it interesting

 

[Vitapen]

Is it THAT Martina Sablikova?

 

[rmacek]

Yes! .......

 

[Vitapen]

And Clara Hughes. What sport is it?

 

[LukeSchmid]

Shaw did beat Tchalykh

 

[Moncoutie]

Clara Hughes looks pretty tasty, hope she wins!

 

[ingsve]

4th place finisher in the mens junior race Markus Fåglum-Karlsson is a rider will very good cycling pedigree. He is the grandson of Sture Pettersson of the 4 Pettersson brothers who won 3 World Championships and an olympic silver in the Team Time Trial between 1967-69. His granduncle Gösta Pettersson won Giro d'Italia in 1971.

His father Jan Karlsson was also a pro with Acceptcard in 1998-1999 and is also a former medalwinner in the olympic Team Time Trial (Bronze 1988).

 

[Moncoutie]

Actually, I've just googled Clara Hughes & I take that back!

 

[Moondance]

Hmmm... Sablikova moderately impresses but Clara Hughes does very much impress. Picked the wrong speed skater.

 

[meat puppet]

Yay, Pia Sundstedt going rather well. Good position on the bike and 4th fastest time at 13,9km at the moment.

 

[LukeSchmid]

Hmmm... Sablikova moderately impresses but Clara Hughes does very much impress. Picked the wrong speed skater.

Hughes is quite a good TTer, she beat Stevens and Neben to win the Pan American Championships and beat Whitten to win the Canadian Championships this year.
