Cheers Um, wut?

Inertia, rolling weight. Once you get them moving they carry their weight and don't like to slow down as much as a low profile rimmed, spoked wheel. Useful for maintaining a high speed, but not great at accelerating.

Laura Trott!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh well done Laura Trott

 

[mattie]

Has Laura Trott just won?

Eta - going by the above -

Has Laura Trott just won?

Yep. She is in the crowd getting hugs atm.

 

[kabbes]

Amazing!

 

[SpookyFrank]

That'll do nicely.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Getting ever so close to being dusty...

Jeebus. Collapsed lung, cancer?

We have a candidate for SPOTY.

What an achievement.

What an achievement.

While I wouldn't disagree, I dare say she won't get a look in this year, what with Wiggins, Murray and Ennis.

Tough fucking time to be an excellent sportsperson!

e2a: Young SPOTY?

One point, I think they said. Wait, no, that was Hammer in the overall.

I think

I think if she'd ended up equal on points with Hammer she would have still got the gold as she'd won more events than MC.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell, that was clooooooooose

 

[agricola]

1-0 Pendleton, looked very close indeed.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Crikey, did Meares get that one?

e2a: Nope

 

[agricola]

Jesus Christ, not even the thickness of a tyre that.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck me, Pendleton inflated her tyres more, that's it!

 

[SpookyFrank]

1/1000th of a second.

 

[tommers]

Good lord. That was close!

 

[twistedAM]

Damn it I have no TV and the fuckers have capped my broadband

 

[mattie]

Well judged.

 

[tommers]

I think if she'd ended up equal on points with Hammer she would have still got the gold as she'd won more events than MC.

They said she'd have to beat hammer by 0.69 secs. Which she did, I suppose.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Have to say, think Mears possibly won that on tactics*, seemed (to my novice eyes) that she spooked Pendleton.

*well, aside from the fact she didn't win the actual race, obviously

 

[mattie]

What's this fandango?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh. For. Fuck's. Sake.
