Keirin cycling

[Prudie]

On now and I don't understand it but has it replaced whatever that event was where 2 cycists would stay almost on the spot for ages before one of them kicked off? what was that called? Don't they do it anymore?

[Frank97]

That was called 'The sprint', it's still there but now they are disqualified if they come to a dead stop like the did in the past.

[Prudie]

Ah I see. Thank you.

The sprint was on yesterday Prudie. x

[bibblebub]

the team sprint was yesterday (and GB won it) - the individual sprints start tomorrow

[Frank97]

I thought yesterday it was the pursuit, didn't think the sprinting had started yet.

[vodkancoke]

Sorry it was the team sprint yesterday...my mistake! lol

[Frank97]

Ah yes, the team sprint, I was thinking of the individual sprint.

[bibblebub]

In the men's team pursuit, GB have just qualified for the final (so guaranteed silver) and are looking very strong. That takes place at 6pm.

p.s. only the mean's team won gold yesterday, the women finished 8th.

I reckon they ought to get.. g'ger.. g'ger.. g'ger .. Granville to ride his delivery bike in front of them in the K'Keirin :)

[DTCwordfan]

Come on Pendleton in the Keirin; she's through......

[sandyRoe]

Do they still have the race where someone on a moped leads they way?

[DTCwordfan]

that's it, sandy, the Keirin

[Prudie]

Yay well done the men's team - Gold and a WR. we are smokin'

[vodkancoke]

[DTCwordfan]

[vodkancoke]

When is Victoria on DT? Is it tonight?

[flump1]

Wasn't that men's pursuit exciting ? Well done them !

[DTCwordfan]

its either in a few mins or 7.45, vodka.

[Prudie]

I think it's 7.45 for Rebecca in the 800m freestyle.
