David Hemery's there - that's much better than Blair

Is anyone worse than Blair?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Cool - have missed most of this trying to sort out a few things at work - don't they know I am trying to watch the Olympics! - but I am settled in now for more GB medal rush!

 

[JTG]

I'm back to work now - will miss the gold rush later

Give them a cheer from me

I'm tempted to leave a message on mobile saying "I'm not working this morning and suggest you watch the madison as well"

 

[Part 2]

Who's VP up against, has the last race gone yet?

 

[Stobart Stopper]

LOL! I love it when they fall over.

 

[butchersapron]

Now that was a sprint.

 

[twistedAM]

Guo won it by a rim but there's a ref's enquiry as Guo was a bit naughty...but will they reverse it in China?

Just went then, bumping, elbowing all sorts, almost dead heat on line. Being looked at again.

 

[butchersapron]

Given it to the aussie.

 

[twistedAM]

Guo disqualified...Meares in

 

[Part 2]

cheers,

gathered there was some funny business going on but listening on the radio where Radio5 (THE Olympic station) aren't covering the race

 

[Part 2]

Yes! Result

 

[ScallyWag II]

Pah, had to go to a mini meeting so missed that.

Madison next. Hope Wiggins and Cav can do it, am sure they'll be closely watched throughout. Come on lads!

Have you got digital radio? Try 5 Live Extra - they usually have live stuff on letting Victoria Derbyshire whittle on about crap.

Guo also fell off and they had to restart. She was getting a bt irksome tbh and this way Victoria gets to own an Aussie.

On live at midday.

 

[twistedAM]

yep, elbow putting Meares into a right old wobble and there was a only a rim between them at the end. a just decision i think

 

[Flashman]

Madison time.

Not as cock sure about this as there tends to be the odd crash.

Come on Cav and Wiggs!

 

[ScallyWag II]

It was bad enough trying to follow the points race yesterday without sound but the madison without sound on a tiny box on the bbc feed should be a challenge

 

[Flashman]

Good luck with that

Just listening on iPlayer, have to keep turning it down but I'm sure they never covered that last semi race

Same here - I am just enjoying the occassional hand holding

it is sweet mental race the commentator seems to know what is going on

 

[ScallyWag II]

*mini derail* Someone's posted a message on the bbc site that London is hosting a six day race next year. Wonder is that will be at the new Redbrige velodome? I'd love to go to a six dayer.

Back to thread, i've lost the plot on the madison atm, got interrupted. Arse

 

[marty21]

i think the argentines are winning

 

[marty21]

GB on an attack, apparently

 

[twistedAM]

every British move is marked

 

[marty21]

didn't work out, wiggins knackered?

 

[Flashman]

Not looking good. We are human then not skinjobs.

 

[mentalchik]

*cries quietly*


don't know what's going on.......
