SalamAkhi 283 Posted February 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2023 fielding a Women's Team Sprint ... with Rachele Barbieri, the fastest of the endurance riders. Probably because there is no Elena Bissolati. Of course Vece is in here, with Giada Capobianchi, who's a decent young sprinter. deciding not to try and qualify a Women's Team Pursuit. Odd choice given the recent progress of this young team. Leaves the door open for another country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,328 Posted February 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2023 First morning's action completed - although couldn't find a live stream of the action which is a bit of a pain in the ass. In the team sprints, Germany looking pretty good for gold and then it will be bun fight with France, GB Netherlands and Poland for the other medals. The first quarter final will be most interesting pitting the Netherlands against Poland as the teams were separated by just 0.042. In the other quarter finals, GBR will take on Belgium, France have Czech Republic and Germany take on Italy. On the men's side, there were no major surprises. The Netherlands topped qualifying fairly comfortably, ahead of GBR, France and Poland - a replica of qualifying from 2022 event. In the quarterfinals, Poland take on Germany whilst France have drawn Italy, GBR take on Spain and the Netherlands will ride against Czech Republic. In the team Pursuit, the British women were about 3 seconds ahead of the field - I think that shows how important Archibald is to the British team. We'll have a rerun of the 2021 Olympic final as GBR take on Germany who will perhaps be a little disappointed to have only taken 4th in qualifying. Italy qualified in 2nd and will take on France. On the men's side, it is going to be hard for any team to get the better of Italy - they finished almost a second faster than GBR and will ride against France in the next round. GBR have been drawn against Denmark. Adriano and Grassmarket 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa Maciel 1,328 Posted February 8, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Both British teams safely making it through to the gold finals in the team sprint - they're unlikely to win either but at least 2 guaranteed medals. Feel sorry for the Polish guys who came so close to making it to the bronze medal ride off but made a bit of a mistake with the final rider.

Rafa Maciel 1,328 Posted February 8, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Really disappointing performance by Fred Wright in the elimination race to finish just 14th. He was riding safely at the head of the pack and then suddenly spat out the back and didn't seem able to respond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,766 Posted February 9, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2023 So the big gundown v in the Team Pursuit finished 1-1 as Filippo Ganna & Katie Archibald drag their two teams to victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,328 Posted February 9, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2023 The British women almost threw that gold medal away - it was the most untidy ride I've seen from them in years. The British guys can be happy with their performance after their horror showing in Tokyo and sub-par result in Munich last year. In both cases, a decent platform to build upon for Paris next year.

At least the British women can call on 2-3 better riders to improve the team for 2024. I'm not sure the men can improve more in 18 months.
