Track Cycling UCI World Championships 2019

awful day #1 for Italy...:nopompom::facepalm:

 

the girls of the Team Pursuit were only 4th in the qualification ride, but a lot slower than their usual times...and therefore tomorrow they won't have any chance to match the very strong Austrlian quartet in the semifinal round...

luckily the US girls did show up with a sort of B-Team (no Chloe Dygert, among others) and didn't get anything more than a modest 7th place, leaving Italy still among the top 4...

 

in the men's Team Pursuit, one of our riders fell down in the early laps, so the team had to ride the entire race with only 3 men and therefore they got boiled in the last Km and ended up in a shameful 10th place, which means that we just cant compete even for a consolation bronze (top performers in the qualification ride were once again Australia, with a good but not so amazing 3.52.something...and ITA have a 3.53.1 record)...

 

finally, the women's Scratch race...the Italian starter was Martina Fidanza, who won the last 2 world cup races...

and approachinmg the final lap she was in perfect position to try her sprint finish, but the :BEL Belgian D'Hoore decided to make an hazardous move and made many riders (Fidanza included) fall down...

and because the world is full of injustice, she still managed to win the Bronze Medal...

meanwhile the first Gold of the Championships went to :GBR Barker ahead of :NED Wild...

 

tonight there are also 2 more Medal Finals, the Team Sprint events...

 

and among the women, it's gonna be :AUS AUS vs :RUS RUS for Gold (:GER GER vs :MEX MEX for Bronze)...

 

meanwhile the men's deciders will be :NED NED vs :FRA FRA for Gold and :GER GER vs :RUS RUS for Bronze

Do you know the points distribution for Team sprint and Team pursuit for the Olympic Ranking? How many Points do the federations get for each rank? Thanks a lot. :)

Semi-decent day. Olivija managed to avoid the major crash in the scratch race, even though her bike got hit and she lost momentum, managed to finish in 6th place, followed by 7th place in the women's team sprint for Krupeckaitė and Marozaitė.

 

 Could have been better, could have been worse, atleast our sprint duo did not damage their chances to get two spots at the Olympics.

    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy has to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
