    what’s going on? two bronzes? are we no longer the dominant world power in track cycling? 🙂

    looking forward to houvenagel in the pursuit, she looks pretty tidy…

    It was heart in the mouth stuff on the women’s pursuit though, top racing! the GB girls looked much tidier than the New Zealanders though, and really strong at the end. well done!

    Yeah
    don’t know where the phrase comes from but jamie staff was the living embodiment of it last night… ‘we haven’t been training that hard, we’re just here for a laugh’ was the basic gist of his interview after his average-at-best first lap meant the french handed us our arses on a plate in the sprint. again.
