Track Cycling at the 2024 Olympics

[Samu Cuenca]

French disaster class.

 

[glassmoon]

well FRA f-ed it up completely

 

[Didinho]

Lefevre giving Hayter an extra million. Impressive last km.

What a race, Denmark seem to have learnt nothing from 2021!

Well they didn't hit any riders, and they haven't been forced to change their outfits

 

[Didinho]

They’re not gaining much. Over.

Australia WR.

 

[Brullnux]

Enormous disappointment from Italy. I'm sure the Italian cycling federation will react reasonably and proportionately, maybe pulling all funding from track cycling.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Wow, that was some run.

needed Rodenberg I think, saying this as someone who watches track cycling and just the 4000m every four years. he was replaced with an injury last week, basically been injured ever since hitting that british man all that time ago, probably the great british federation of witches and wizards placed a curse on him after that

 

[Tim Cahill]

Absolutely thermonuclear from Australia, will need to stuff something up for them to lose.

 

[Didinho]

Sub 41 another WR. So strong.

 

[KZD]

Huge time from the Dutch team, complete dominance to take gold in front of GB.

Likely to be the first of three golds for Lavreysen in these Olympics.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

New WR by Bubka, Železný and Phelps.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Get Roy van den Berg to the Vuelta, he'll put 25 bike lengths into the field as long as he has 7 guys dedicated to helping him over the local speedbump.

Van den Berg is actually the weak link to this team, lol. If he was on top level every race these guys would go 40.8. All we need is consistent 17.0 starts, but it's a rare occurrence these days.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Lavreysen did a lap in 11.763, hilarious.

GB apparently saved Bigham for tomorrow. How is this possible? Because Hayter comes from the road quota?

 

[Cookster15]

Wow, 3:40 for the men's teams pursuit is just nuts - 65.4km/h from a standing start. At Sydney 2000 was when Germany first broke the 4 minute barrier.

Australia look like massive favorites the way they are riding but never count your chickens.

Yes

 

[Didinho]

Another WR, in the sprint. Lavreysen still to come. Maybe the first ever under 9”.

He goes 0,003 faster. Another WR.

Same for Balsamo, replacing Consonni. Hope her shape is okay after the injuries and a bad road race.

The French have also replaced Le Net with Berteau from the road team.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Much better run by Team GB, but it's Dygert and Faulkner who secure additional medals.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Great TP contest there between the US and GB women

 

[Samu Cuenca]

All finals actually look like they could become quite close in the women's TP, apart from the battle for bronze. Recovery will be quite important when the finals are already on this evening.
