Track Cycling at the 2024 Olympics

[Samu Cuenca]

Aussies look pretty good here even without their best rider Rohan Dennis.

Don't forget Jack Bobridge.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

This blob of Danes is flying

edit: Look to have gone out too hard

 

[Tim Cahill]

The form of the Danish team is excellent, almost like some sort of monolith.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Nvm they stuffed it, should have brought Fuglsang and not had Bjerg on the front so early

Is this an Alan Partridge quote

 

[Tim Cahill]

Seeing Ganna always draws to mind that Ian Holloway quote about Cristiano Ronaldo

 

[Brullnux]

Italy timed that terribly, Milan with a random monster turn halfway through and Consonni had a poor changeover. Ganna didn't look like he was giving it everything though. Let's see.

My instinct is they have something left, and it's not like being up against the Aussies rather than the Danes or Brits makes much difference.

BBC track cycling commentary is truly unbearable, they all come across as such massive tories

 

[Samu Cuenca]

That is, indeed, correct! No fooling you!

Andreas Kraul just said the British team was from Great Britain. There's no fooling him either.

 

[Brullnux]

Italy's 2nd split: 53.7. 3rd split: 55.2. Final split was 54 flat. Slightly shoddy.

Boardman has a bit of knowledge but it's all a bit safe, they should draft Takeshi's Castle Craig Charles from back in his drug addict years, give him a bottle of vodka and stick him on the red button comms.

it will be tough to defend Tokyo's gold medal in Men Team's pursuit against this Straya team

 

[RedheadDane]

Hey, look! We're back!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Germans reclaim the team sprint WR.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Kiwis take over the WR.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Brits strike back.

 

[JR1012]

Sure New Zealand beat Germany in the Women Team Sprint. Where were they in the last years? Never had a good result. Very strange.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Eveyone just smashing World Records, that's 3 in 10 minutes, getting silly now.

Edit: 4 now.

Nowadays the bikes are much lighter, they know how to eat food properly and they do appropriate Training. So they keep getting faster.

The women's team sprint is still a fairly new event in its current form, so it's not that ridiculous that WRs get broken here.

Bradley Wiggins and Chris Hoy didn't know anything about using a core heat training device and the team was overseen by the OG bald Dave Brailsfraud.

Well, only at the olympics. At Worlds, not.

No, but it's a first at the Olympics, which I assume has been the big goal for all participating countries.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I always get really nervous with the start in this event, the gap that opens makes it look like the front rider is going way too fast like Roglic when he dropped everyone in that Paris Nice ttt.
