Clancy should have silver after the mess of the elimination race.......They really need to sort it out, its always a shambles
Agree Clancy should have got silver.
Hansen was always gonna be the next best after Clancy in that event, the only one who could have challenged really was Coquard.
also Krupeckaite can't come worse than 8th in the womens sprint
At least on drheaton's scoring, I should only get 12 for Irvine
Scores up, and yes, 12 points for 12th or below.
Bell was a let down for quite a few people though so you didn't lose out too much. Although, TERa's running away with it. We pretty much all have Bauge and Hammer and even if Watanabe comes last and Awang first he's still got a 5 point lead!
Yeah Hammer and Bauge.
The lowest TER can get in the woman's sprint is 8, so there could be a few points gained back there. If Awang won and Watanabe scored 12, it could be close
Although Gkam is 3rd, he is the only one that can catch me i believe, even tho Stevespro is currently 2nd, as he has 3 riders the same and so levy scoring 1 point and watanabe 12, he would still be 3 adrift.
For you Gkam, If Watanabe scored 12, Awang 1 that would be a 5 point difference meaning you would still need Guo to come 1st or 2nd for you to win, and 3rd to tie...
thus its gonna be difficult now for you to catch me
Actually Chris could catch me as well as he has 3 different, with Pendleton and Whitten and Mulder, however im not sure Mulder will outscore Watanabe, and will Whitten beat Hammer, not so sure, and then again max pull back of 7 points with Pendleton, meaning he would still need to make up the other 9 points from those first too.
djb can also mathematically catch me if trott and levy were to win and both watanabe and hammer to come lower than 10th...which would be unlikely.
Therefore I dont think I can come lower than 2nd but if everything went right for 1 of your teams 1 of you could overtake me
Well think i can safely say I'll be finishing last!!!
There goes your chance of winning Gkam, both Krupeckaite and Guo knocked out and will come 5th-8th
Not out yet, only 1 race outta 3 run
oh right, bbc results wern't clear when i had a glance then!
Krupeckaite out. Guo into 3rd ride
Scores up, no change obviously as we all had Bauge. All change tomorrow though with the last three events. Hoping for some good results and a top three finish!
Guo through to the top 4, Krupeckaite came 5th
Go trotty....
God damn, Watanabe got through the repechage into the top 12 Awang is in Hoy's semi, so hopefully stick to his wheel and get to the final, then I can get 2nd overall
Watanabe 11th Awang 6th
Guo 3rd Krupeckaite 5th
Don't think i'm taking the win.....MIGHT get a podium though
:edit, turns out I wont......bugger
We were joint 6th
Awang cost you and Krupeckaite cost me. In the end there was a few of us in the middle of the pack who got jumped on the last events by those with Mears and Pendleton or Levy.
It's been fun though, definitely added something to watching the competition.
Congrats to TERa and to GB for another cracking Olympics.
Awang wasn't the costly one. It was my last minute change of mind to go for Irvine over Viviani in the omnium
Panarina was my really costly one, she's usually right up there but cost me dearly. Oh well, it was fun, what do you think about reviving it for the world champs/commonwealth games?
The worlds yeah, thats Belarus next year. But the commonwealth's aren't until 2014? Still 2 years off
Aye, time to get your planning in then!
Right, I'll pick my teams next week
If I look down from the podium I can just about see gkam. Lol
The tortoise beat the hares....
Go trotty!,!
Well done ratty.
Well, Hoy's in my Commonwealth team the Commonwealth's could be pretty fun as you'd be free to pick English, Welsh, Scots etc as separate nations.
Worlds might be a bit mad, loads of extra events might mean two per nation but picking results for the year after the Olympics should be tricky, nobody at their best, lots of unpredictable results.
Im goin to pick the manx
Hoy wouldn't be in my commonwealth team. I think IF he gets that far he'll be beaten but some random English man who does not respect the SIR
No, he'll be there and he'll want to win in his own velodrome. That'll be his retirement party so he'll make the most of it. For me, it'll be interesting to see who comes through to fill Pendleton's spot. Varnish is young and seems fairly inexperienced in the Keirin/match sprint so there's possibly an open spot there. Plus at two years out from Rio I can see Brailsford throwing in some young riders rather than sending the big guns.
Likewise UCI are extending the women's team pursuit to 4 women over 4km so they'll need another pursuiter to replace Wendy 'a little bit bitter' Hoovenagel.
And yes, maybe IoM for the team pursuit if Cav is still obsessed with Olympic gold.
Cav said tonight, he's 99% sure he'll be trying to get on the track for Rio, He's already said a while ago that the road course wont suit him at all. He said tonight, he's got 3 years on the road and then will look at the track. So I think he'll be signing a 3 year contract with another team and then switching to the track
Trott will come through and fill Pendleton's shoes. She's only doing the omnium to get into the worlds and Olympics because VP and others were still there
Trott seems to be a world class pursuiter too though so surely she can't do it all? And I'd put more money on her sticking withthe girls in the team pursuit over swapping to the sprint.
Surely Cav can't keep signing for Sky every Olympic year? Do you think the lure of staying part of the British Cycling set up might tempt him to stay at Sky through his contract and all the way to Rio?
