I was really looking forward to a fast duell between GB and the Aussies in the team pursuit, but I guess we have to wait for the olympics. Do you know if australia have released their squad?

[Ferminal]

Meyer has said he will not be doing the TP... not exactly sure why, maybe to test someone else, maybe because he's worried about the Points and Madison (he shouldn't be?).

So Australia will be:

IP

Bobridge
Dennis (do they get 2?)

Points Race

Meyer

TP

Bobridge
Dennis
Hepburn
Durbridge/Howard

Omnium

Freiberg

Madison

Meyer
Howard
