2016 Rio Olympic - Track Cycling

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-3687080/Team-GB-stars-sweating-race-10-000-super-bike-ready-Olympics.html

So if the Olympics act on Wada's advice and ban all Russian athletes, will the British women's team sprint now qualify? Could be tricky.

Is there some kind of Google calendar for the Olympic track schedule?

This doesn't show the track schedule but just dates - might be useful

Forum y u no Rio chat?

Womens TP smashed it in qualifier.
Mens Team Sprint in big final.

Good start...

P.S. USA bikes epic wtf.

Ooof - Dutch TP team have a touch of wheels and lose one of their final 3 men so they fail to record a time.

Bit of rolled up paper and gaffer tape, track's good as new.

Very prescient, just 2x TP riders.......

Was it wheels? I couldn't tell.

Smashed it

BBC says average speed of 39.53mph for that team sprint final. Would love to see their SRM data.

Looks like they dusted off the magic wheels...

Good nights racing so far!

Anyone notice the mad cockpits on the NZ bikes with the side braces? Look from a distance like there's hardly any fork crown.

Hinde's fork; what is it/why?

gaffer tape

Slightly different stuff used, Matt finish and grippy. Pricey though.

Moar aero

Most ugly

Supposedly a larger gap between wheel/tyre leaves less dirty air. But it's a bit like o-symmetric rings, not clear there's too much of an advantage.

Really ugly. Any reason why just on his and not the rest of the team/many other bikes?

Who knows. That's one of the older 'secret squirrel' track frames, one of the women was on one too, while the rest of them are on the newer (and beautiful) Cervelos, GB's new supplier. Personal preference? Not enough bikes to go around? None in their size?

fucking skybox wouldnt let me watch the cycling

Mis matched disc wheels >>>>>>

Can get it on iPlayer at the moment, I'm currently watching.

I was watching, then my VPN dropped and they've stopped the (delayed) live feed and I'm waiting for it to come out on iPlayer proper. All the BBC Sport articles seem to have the team pursuit confused with the team sprint too (here and here), making it hard to find a replay!

Personal preference?

For Hindes the Cervelo a bit too flexy under power out of the gate they said in commentary .
