Thanks everyone! Going to try and add one more later today in the Kilo. Tough ask after two blazing rides yesterday, but this is what I've trained for. Really want the triple!

Basically a few countries protesting because they are unhappy with how good I am. Think I am too good for the category I'm in - but I have now been through classification 5 times so there's no chance they have got it wrong.
Made massive leaps in performance in the past year - mostly because I train my ass off daily now whereas I didn't before. Can't be reviewed again now this year so am safe all the way through London.

Nice one Colin. I know Mark Colbourne had to go through a classification check too. Looking good for later this year!0

Yeah - Mark was actually in the classification room before me! He was in for almost an hour though whilst mine went somewhat quicker. He's a friend and I'm pleased for him. He's definitely earned his stripes. I told him 4 months ago he would win, and I was right!0 -
Many congratulations indeed Colin! Fantastic!
Out of interest, are most of your rivals on the track the same guys who you faced on the road?

There are a few riders that ONLY do track (for instance the Chinese), but for the most part - it's the same people that I ride against on the road also.

Congrats on the gold Colin
I looked for your kilo, what happened there? I was expecting a time of about 1:15 to 1:17 for you, did you do 1:19 ? You probably did that in your splits for the pursuit ?0 -

Quite simply - I was cooked by the time the Kilo came. Pursuit must have taken too much out of me.
However - two things I did wrong that I will remedy in the future for my kilo: use wider bars for starting and a bigger gear for a higher top speed.
My disability means I can only spin a gear effectively at a daily lower RPM than a normal person, so have to push a bigger gear to go faster, etc. Means a slower start but faster over the distance.0 -
Thats the trouble with a kilo it is short distance. I am not sure what gear Jody uses but he does a damn fast timePokerface wrote:oldwelshman wrote:Congrats on the gold Colin
