Tokyo Olympics 2020 - Cycling

[Frosty]

All this talk of when are replays on DStv, has made the GCN+ worth every cent. #videoondemand

There's a bit of drama over that drop, Yo!anda says PFP braked just before that drop, forcing her off line over the top, then she realised she had to gap her

I'm not sure if it was always going to be in place for the womans race or if they changed it due to the conditions. But if it was always the plan to have it there for the woman, it kind of would make sense to leave it there for the practice sessions and just tell the men it won't be there in the race.

Like if men and woman want to practice at the same times, or if they don't want to move the thing the whole time depending on who is on the course, you have to have the ramp in place and just tell the men not to use it. The men can still practice the exact race situation with the ramp in place, but the woman can't replicate their race conditions if it's not there. 

I saw a post by Candice on IG which indicated she expected the ramp to be removed for the race.

The thread was split.. There is a 'non cycling' olympic thread
 

 

This thread doesn't come up as it's non cycling so it's hard to find. ..... Maybe the answer was just to have a free for all on the cycling thread rather

PFP does sometimes take the technical bits at her own pace it's like she needs a lap to get her confidence whereas Jolanda attacks the features. Jolanda obviously came in hot. She should have given PFP a bit of breathing space.

Yes I saw that. They were told if the storm hit and the course was too wet the bridge would be placed. If it was dry it would be gone. The forecast since Friday spoke of rain for both men's and womens
race. The in again out again nature of Schrodongers bridge should be addressed going forward. Those who could jump it were faster anyways so it should have just stayed put.

Done with the race, real awesome riding by Jolanda. Had it totally hooked from the get no questions, not sure what Pauline was doing when she got passed but I've realized in life and racing it is what it us. Am sure Nino was jealous watching and proud at the same time. 

Loana never got going, and I hate to be nasty but I think she went a little Dutch (overconfident) having hit everyone four races in a row and wasn't considering loosing. But she will be back, and back hard. 

I did ask about the ramp yesterday and I really think its stupid. Everyone there is a professional. Nobody needs the ramp for practice, you go and look and do the best, and if you cant get it then too bad. But, hey. 

Been scrolling and nobody speaking of Candice's performance, so I'll walk away too...:)
