Track World Champs

[Dazed and Confused]

rising sun with a great win

 

[KZD]

Team GB catching Germany in the final of the women's team pursuit. A shame that Archibald had to miss the Olympics.

Huge day for Japan with the gold medals from Yamasaki and Kuboki.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ganna's IP World Record broken.

Josh Charlton 3.59.304

 

[KZD]

Lavreysen taking almost a second on Hoogland's time in his kilo debut, his 15th gold medal in World Championships.

 

[KZD]

Ganna's IP World Record broken.

Josh Charlton 3.59.304

Didn't last long though, Milan beat him in the final with 3.59.1.

 

[JR1012]

What an underwhelming points race in the Women Omnium Race.
Only Roberts had the guts to do something and it paid off.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Anyone keeping count of how many things Kirby describes something as a steal this week?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

If a rider falls through his own fault in a two man match sprint, why does he get a second chance?

 

[RedheadDane]

So, Julie Leth bows out in style.

Also, will Dideriksen still be allowed to wear the rainbow jersey in the Madison in the coming year, even if her new partner - probably Klinge - won't?

I think so, because in team sprint and team pursuit it is allowed to wear the rainbow jersey if one teammate doesn't won it.

 

[KZD]

Great madison from the Germans, home nation Denmark with two more golds to finish the Worlds.

Lavreysen still the king of speed.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah, turns out I was a day early in declaring that Julie Leth had bowed out in style.

Mørkøv's bowing out - at least from World Championship racing - was a little less stylish; only bronze.

I just learned that the elimination race is called afvalkoers (garbage race) in Dutch. That seems to perfectly sum up that discipline.

Always called 'Devil take the hindmost' in UK.

The Tour once had this rule that you were eliminated if you finished last on the stage (before WW1, I think). Sounds stressful but at least easier to manage than in the garbage race.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Wondering what that Belgian pair were doing on the podium of the fathers and sons event.


(sometimes known as the madison)

Many thanks for link, and an official worlds site that actually looks useful for a change.

 

[Didinho]

In the women elimination race there is a crash in the first sprint, the official had to jump over the flying bike. A first for everything.

 

[Black Betsy]

HL...keirin... can't describe anymore...

 

[Unchained]

All the racing has been great and the velodrome, the inside and outside views of the venue are awesome. Crowds are also excellent.

[Tim Cahill]

It's like watching Brock Lesnar out there with Lavreysen, makes the bike look like a childs toy that could break at any minute.

 

[JR1012]

So we saw today why WT road teams might not allow their riders to go to track events.

Dutch women madison team with Wiebes DNF.
And when track riders are not returning because of a crash they are hurt.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Wiebes didn't think the yellow card was tough enough and decided to take herself and Van Belle out. An SDW masterclass.

A British gold medal, but they were also the only medalists that didn't crash.

 

[Sorped]

Women's Madison was crazy, never seen so many crashes before.
