T-Bob Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Apparently Cav' has to podium to stand a chance. UK is going nuts for the track at the moment all 50,000 seats were sold out super fast. Any know if SS are broadcasting anything?
kosmonooit Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Yes its going to be tight for Cav, he was fairly distant 4th in the Omnium in HK - but props for trying anyway.
T-Bob Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Yes its going to be tight for Cav, he was fairly distant 4th in the Omnium in HK - but props for trying anyway. 100%. Not sure how his tilt @ olympics medal, WC road race and TdF is going to pan out but love him or hate him he's one of the only guys to give it a tonk in the peloton. As he said a medal is pretty much the only thing he's not done... fair play.

kosmonooit Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Competitors head for UCI Track World Championships with Olympics in mind
kosmonooit Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 Watched last nights drama on Eurosport via random web stream, seems the UCI YouTube stream is blocked to SA, $$ no doubt. Forkers. Gutted for the Chinese ladies who, by the radius of a pubic hair, crossed the line too early in the Team Sprint changeeover. Coach was miffed: he bust his hand punching a table. and Team GB Sprint ladies didn't crack the nod for the Olympics But The Wig lead the way in the Team Pursuit and the other races were fun http://velonews.competitor.com/2016/03/news/track-worlds-china-coach-comes-to-blows-with-table_397161

T-Bob Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 And the bad champs continue for team GB. Ladies pursuit was a shambles and the men's race was very average. Great work from the Aussies, the lads did me proud!
gtr1 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Some really exciting racing. Men's scratch race average speed 54 km/h.........that's flying.
