Team GB have broken a WR.
Pendleton and Varnish have been DQ'd.

I started a thread in the Racing section - figured it was "on topic"...

Amazing ride in the TP - they looked so smooth. Cav reckons there's more to come from them too.

Pendleton and Varnish AND the Chinese team were slapping WR's down like it was poker night at the Secret Squirrel Club.

High drama on the DQ.

Was that a plan from the Aussies to rest the rider early in the team pursuit? HP suggested so, but it looked as though he just missed catching the slipstream.

The British pursuiters were awesome.

They must be really disappointed. They know the rules though. At least they bloody well should!

At least Pendleton has other events. Poor Jess

Whooo! Men going good!

And another world record falls to GB in the men's team sprint! Incredible!

I wasn't sure where to post it, tbh. We need a moderator adjudication!

Where's the commissar when you need him?

Jessica was so gutted that she couldn't face doing a TV interview at all

Deano · « **Reply #12 on:** 02 August, 2012, 06:32:48 pm »

Chinese female sprinters have been disqualified now, too. Bit of a crap way to decide a competition.

citoyen · « **Reply #13 on:** 02 August, 2012, 06:33:52 pm »

China relegated in final. Third-best team gets gold. Well done, man in blazer.

Pants isn't it? There has clearly been some inconsistency in this rule over the last few years. Sure - rules are rules, but don't wait until the 'lympics until you start enforcing them

LindaG · « **Reply #15 on:** 02 August, 2012, 06:41:15 pm »

The Chinese girl stomps off. Farce upon farce.

Just seen on twitter:

Team GB are so fast in the cycling because they are used to having an Addison Lee vehicle two millimeters from their rear tyre

LindaG · « **Reply #17 on:** 02 August, 2012, 06:49:18 pm »

Not sure Hoy's a hoomin. Let's hope he doesn't get DQ'd for being too fast.

LindaG · « **Reply #18 on:** 02 August, 2012, 06:53:09 pm »

Hugh likes those thighs doesn't he?

bobb · « **Reply #19 on:** 02 August, 2012, 06:55:00 pm »

YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \0/

bobb · « **Reply #21 on:** 02 August, 2012, 06:57:19 pm »

Hoy was pushing a noticably bigger gear than Kenny. Guess he has time to wind it up before his final lap...

Deano · « **Reply #22 on:** 02 August, 2012, 06:57:51 pm »

Wow, that was incredible!

Basil · « **Reply #23 on:** 02 August, 2012, 07:00:39 pm »

Blimey.

They're nearly as quick as me!

Beating Bauge over the first stint was amazing as well
