I don't agree with the British policy not caring about World Championships. Might have as well just stayed home. :d

I agree with you, but looking at the team they've sent we can't expect much. Most of the big names are taking a year out. The real test will be to see how Callum Skinner and Katie Archibald do.

I can understand sending a weakened team for this year.

Next year there should be no excuses.

Yup, they are going to be nowhere until Tokyo, when suddenly some technology will get them 80% of gold medals.

This time last year the British Federation were very worried about getting good results in Rio - but they always said that a new generation would be ready for Tokyo and possibly be better than ever before.

I wonder if that was some sort of tactic to somehow try and get a bit in some sort of underdog role :p 

 

I mean, everyone pretty much expected them to turn up with their supersonic stuff and dominate once more :d

Great time for Vogel/Welte in women's team sprint.

 

Unfortunately, the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear about these two is their London 2012 gold... That competition was quite pathetic.

Care to find one or two sentences to refresh my memory? :p

Relegations left and right. :p China set WRs in both qualification and first round. Great Britain was also faster than Germany in qualification.

 

First Germans got into final after GB's relegation, and then they won gold after China's relegation. In the final round they were also slower than Australians that won bronze medal match.

 

So that was gold for Germany despite not having the fastest time in any of the rounds. :p

Oh, so Belarus doesn't get a re-run after falling in men's team sprint. Didn't know that rule is only for certain nations.

They're not in the live timing as DNF anymore, like a few minutes ago. Maybe they do get a re-run? 

 

Edit: Fairly sure they'll get another chance.
