lechatnoir Posted August 5 Share FWIW, the track program begins this afternoon. Some usual suspects will be there too - Viviani, Morkov... Personally, I really enjoy it as it's contained and a proper spectator event. And the team events are great to watch with really well-drilled teams.

Dexter-morgan Posted August 5 Share I remember in the last Olympics Filipo Ganna's power run in the pursuit, I will make a point of watching hopefully some highlights this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv popped HARD during the road race, or did he just decide he'd had enough? Let's hope he has some spare watts for the velodrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As UCI rules state that all equipment must be commercially available, the V-Izu TCM-2 is on sale for ¥19.85 million (£101,000), a prohibitive price tag that effectively takes it off the market.  https://www.instagram.com/p/C65myZzMBlv/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=2cbcf148-edd1-4073-827d-2da0918e0e1d  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted August 6 Share Last night's program was intense. women's team sprint... world records after world record. and then the men's team pursuit - was fantastic to see. And of course the Dutch men's team sprint—just give them gold already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted August 7 Share Again, the track program didn't disappoint last night... Unless you were the German women and Italian men pursuit teams.... But golly, the Dutch men sprint team are something else. As Eurosport commentators noted, everyone would have been happy to give them gold 6 months ago. And they delivered As with all the top performances, it's so good to see things work out perfectly. But I guess that goes for all of life in the world.  mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
