    Gotta to love the Chinese.
    In what universe are men's team sprint suddenly good and the women's absolutely awful?
    Not sus at all.

    Italian wheel sucks her way to victory in the scratch race, beating Ellie Barker.
    6 riders took and lap and guess who didn't do a tap, in taking it?

    Valverde? Gerrans? Quick Step?

    The crash in the TP qualifier of NZ and Canada was a bit nasty, the rule change to have two teams on track in the qualification round needs to be revisited. Catches in the TP should be the exception not the norm!

    You say that like it's against the rules, or something...

    Some unbelievable officiating in the women's sprint today.
    Basically threw away their rule book in giving Vogel heat 2 and therefore the match, against local girl Lee Wai Sze.

    Short of throwing a punch not sure how Vogel could have interfered more.

    Archibald omnium win a bit of a rollercoaster to put it mildly.

    Maybe you only get dq'd for that sort of stunt in the Keirin, these days.
    Two out yesterday, making today's blind eye even more crazy.

    As for Katie A, certainly was.
    Made a bit of a mistake in the devil over playing with Hammer.
    Then nearly blowing up in the points, only to burn the final lap!

    I predict Archibald will be GBs Omnium rider in Tokyo, not Trott.

    I hope Trott is back for the Commonwealth Games, Trott v Archibald v Barker (plus others) in various events will be a highlight.

    Woof! That would be great stuff.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Elinor Barker finally adds gold in the points race to her two championship silvers.
    Not a bad haul.
    GB's two experienced endurance women have been the shining lights of the team.
