2016 Rio Olympic - Track Cycling

P.s. discussions ongoing with BC about adding Wallride as a technique to the coaching handbook.

Nice, thanks

Great ride from Trott in the scratch race... such power - and sustained power at that!

Not sure why instagram description says "Dutch rider provoked the fall"...

I'm liking Denmark's status as top buyers of all the woo-woo; they've got Ceramicspeed treated chains too

Didn't realise how much I wanted Cav to win, but I really really do.

Are GB using 60 something chainrings and polo cogs on the back?

Colombian cycling powder?

Will Cavendish by disqualified for that?

Oh dear cav.... Swings down right into another rider who takes out viviani... Cav still riding,

From the UCI rules:

Collusion and collision are practically the same thing, right?

Collusion - secret/illegal cooperation
Collision - crashing

Now colluding to collide...

I'll say this: I really can't believe Cav did that on purpose

Ha, no me neither, just playin!

Hansen just told the reporter at that he agreed with Cav to let him have silver if he helped prevent Gaviria gain a lap towards the finish.

Strong ride for gold, emotional. Happy for Cav Silver. Hope Korean ok.

Is that a collision?

"It was my fault, I hope he's alright, you know"

Me: "Would you care to comment on that move?"
Cav: "I could sue you for that, do you know that?"
Me: "What for? Asking a question?"

I've seen this but we only have his side of the story, despite it being seized upon by the trolls like Kimmage

Zonneveld is the best cycling journo we have in NL, no reason to mistrust his depiction of the event.

Fair enough but it totally lacks context. It doesn't help it is being retweeted by the likes of Kimmage and discussed in the clinic as part of the general anti-Sky, BC, Cookson, Wiggins and any of our athletes agenda.

Is all. Cav is a hot-head, he has form for aggressive answers to journalists. Storm in a t-cup

Vogel good save there as saddle came off on finish lunge... damaged whilst wheel hopping on lap 1?

11 medals. Possibly one more to come. Nearly 1/4 of GB total.

I was watching the live feed on iplayer and she was complaining to her coach about some issue around saddle/seatpost before the start. Did a quick lap and one of the mechanics tightened something around there with an Allen key. No torque wrench D:
