Great time as well, and she lost a bit by having to overtake on the bend. Chapeau Wendy!

Another catch by a GB cyclist! A GB final looking good
Go Wendy! She might well have beat Romero's time if she hadn't had to overtake on the bend.
Surely they should have a blue flag thing like they do in F1 to tell the slow one to get the fuck out of the way.

Keirin is huge in Japan. Bit surprising that they haven't done better in it.

Chris Newton now in the points race. One of our vets. Hope he can do something medalwise. Would be a reward for years of effort. G'luck Chris!
The Madison is the free-for-all pairs points race.
Its the one they ride like a relay.
Ah yeah I remember.
There's one where they go really slowly for a while and wait for the other one to go. Then they cycle like mad.
I swear I aint making this up

Yes, the tag team points type race. Wiggins and Cav are very good medal prospects in that despite the size difference between them!

That overhead shot is a bit rubbish, the lens isn't wide enough to fit the bends in! US rider nearly made contact with the back of the peleton. Newton well place in the bunch. US rider's 1 lap up. Early days.
COME ON CHRIS!
COME ON CHRIS!

She broke my red button!!!! I can get everything else except for the cycling.
I'm going out - I have better things to do than watch assorted east Africans running round a track 200 metres ahead of sundry Europeans.

Italy and Ukraine get the third sprint trying to gain a lap. Someone's already off the back aswell. Don't know who it is but they're wearing a white top. Hope it's not Newton 
Ukraine and Italy win the next sprint but have been pulled back by the bunch.
