We were in track bike heaven for 5days. Priceless memories

Any more pics of the BC bikes? Some of them looked to have a weird pod thing on the front of the head tube.

Pressure sensor

Cav bumped into I think Holland rider around the bottom of the banking, track rash but he was still able to ride till the end.

some bikes not all had cameras mounted on the seat post. Which meant height adjustment on the start gate. Went through that routine at least 2 dozen times.
In the highest position one of the clamp screw levers clashed with the start gate frame. We encountered this on Wednesday night as we went through the positioning sequence. But for anyone new it took a while to figure out how to overcome the the clash problem. We should provide a step by step guide to the start gate set up for BC and LVV.

^not something you want to deal with live on the tellybox

This is your face when you've just taken a lap in the Madison and are ahead on points and there are 6 laps to go and no-one can touch you.

anyone know where i can watch the madison in full? iplayer stream switches to tennis just as it starts

It's also the face when you realise you can see your team-mate's bum because he's got a hole in his shorts from a crash.

UCI youtube channel about 2h:22m in.

you need to use a VNP and set it to switzerland (Hola is free - but delete it afterwards as it's nasty add on that steals your data)

sweet, thanks

The link is strange, if you click on the link then scroll down there is a another link with the same link that has no tennis.

great shot!

This one seems to have the full coverage

And a couple of the happy couple:

Final sprint of the Omnium Elimination:

And Kenny's Individual Sprint Victory lap:

Cavendish was properly dazed by his spill.

He mentioned in his bbc interview that his helmet took a bash. I wonder if he is seeing stars today?

Only in the mirror.

great pictures!

good to see Cav smiling again - feels like it's been a while since he has.

should we have a whip round and get Wiggo some socks?

Team GB ripping off Adam Hansen custom carbon shoes?

I was chatting to Joachim Eilers (Men's Keirin Champion) as we walked towards Westfields last night. He was still clutching his bouquet in one hand and Venezuelan beauty in the other. I think she was wearing his gold medal ;)

how sweet..

I can think of worse ways to spend a Sunday night.

yes, but not still in your track cycling gear, he was also carrying his (bike) helmet..

Wouldn't breaking it down by time spent on the front for each rider give more insight?

Managed to not hear any news and then catch up on the Madison last night....that was so exciting, absolutely loved it. Dont know what the neighbours must have though with me and my wife shouting at the screen. Wish we had been there.
