Impressive Womens Team Sprint final.
Both teams broke the world record.0 -
I got passed by a guy with one leg once, he was flying. It was the bike leg of a mini triathlon (don't ask, I was pressganged). I caught the bstard up on the run and considered kicking his crutch away as I passed.orraloon said:🤔 in C2 para track category, how does guy with 1 leg fare vs guy with 2 legs both obv working?

@rick_chasey - think you should add a Spoiler to the title now dude...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Hannah Walker needs to be told about not looking at the interviewer when answering questions...
(which I only know about because Guy Martin pointed out he can't do it tbf...)
Also... the GCN coverage shows the gold medal ceremony for the womans IP before showing any actual footage of who won...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

I don't agree - van Aert gives them a third way to win (or avoid working).
But if it comes down to a sprint with Philipsen there, he has to agree to be part of the lead out not a potential winner.0 -
Turns out the route goes right past my pal's law firm which is on the top floor with a couple of balconies. He didn't realise until he got to work this morning and it was barriered off. That's another viewing spot sorted!0

Yeah that’s not gonna happen judging from the comments. No love lost there.kingstongraham said:I don't agree - van Aert gives them a third way to win (or avoid working).

What does he actually mean by "disappointed by our way of racing" though? Is it a demand to ride with panache, or is it that he doesn't want to be looking at it later and thinking that their strategy (or lack of it) jiggered everything up? Haven't read the article so don't know which way that quote leans (and obviously it could be presented as either to make a better story!)rick_chasey said:

In Belgium if you don't ride effectively as a team you get it right in the neck for the rest of your life. They still bring up Museeuw's rides in various world's and documentaries decades after the fact.Lanterne_Rogue said:

So I suspect he's referring to good teamwork.0 -
Geraint and Luke get hold of Remco on the podcast, they ask some questions about him V Van Aert...

Philipsen isn't winning this, is he?0

He's a far more rounded rider than he's given credit for (Roubaix podium, for e.g.), but no I can't see it. He'll be a bloody good anchor marking chasers out if Remco or Van Aert get away thoughkingstongraham said:Philipsen isn't winning this, is he?
