Cycling Thread #2 - Track

[ScallyWag II]

He's in the medal race off - was 2 seconds down with 1km to go and pulled it in no trouble. Apparently he was given a schedule to race to and stuck to it perfectly.

Ta! Wiggins looking good

 

[JTG]

Brad Wiggins is murdering this bloke

 

[JTG]

He's in the gold medal ride off against the Kiwi bloke. Burke rides for bronze

Wiggins caught his opponent!

 

[ScallyWag II]

Morning all! Two great cycling performances already and I've only been up half an hour!

I think - fingers crossed - it could be a good day for Team GB

 

[twistedAM]

Yeah...it's the KEIRIN up next. Bit of yer actual racing coming up

Go Hoy!

 

[Melinda]

Dammit! I need a split screen!


Ive turned over in time for the heats for the Mental Keirin, (which is its unofficial title in my house!) Yesssssss!

 

[JTG]

I need a new red button

 

[strung out]

i don't have a red button... need a digibox for the upstairs tv

 

[ScallyWag II]

Dammit! I need a split screen!

There's too much going on, my remote is going to be worn out

Hoy looks so classy and strong.

 

[JTG]

That bloke on the motorbike was winning but gave up

 

[twistedAM]

red button?

what could possibly compete with keirin?

i hope the bbc have the sense to show the points race in it entirety

and when is Romero riding round in circles? need to go to the post office at some time this morning and that would be the ideal time

 

[ScallyWag II]

You don't like her do you

Ross Edgar going now. C'mon Ross!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Camera on the bike ftw!

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

[ScallyWag II]

[Melinda]

WTF is this?

There's some bloke on a moped.

Mental innit! Just wait for the Madison!

 

[twistedAM]

You don't like her do you

Not really. I'm rooting for Wendy Houvenaghel to get Norn Iron's first gold in that event.
Oh...and I didn't realise she copied VP by going nude for a photoshoot (to advertise Powerade).
Article here: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10...pians-strip-prepare-make-history-Beijing.html

She's talking of thinking of giving up cycling after this to do a third sport, possibly a winter one.

 

[JTG]

Here comes Romero then

 

[Melinda]

Rebecca would be a wicked bobsleigh leadoff man!

 

[ScallyWag II]

Would be great for GB if they both made the final. Romero looks like catching the Aussie lass!

 

[JTG]

She's caught the Aussie!

 

[Melinda]

Happy to help


Romero V Houvenaghel for the gold looks well tasty.

 

[JTG]

[ScallyWag II]
