Right, Tanfield is up on his feet. That was scary for a bit there.

If the commentators are correct,  will have the option to go again? I assume if they have the option, then they will take it.

Obviously I'm happy that it may benefit us (if Tanfield is ok), but seems a bit silly that you can go again when you DNF due to your own error

I agree. Silly rule.

Italy was sensationally awful. Even Ganna's final km was better than Denmark's, but over half a second slower than New Zealand's. An absolute disaster.

Velodromes give me the willies a bit. They just look like a disaster waiting to happen

Great performance from  women's team sprint to top qualifying list. This has traditionally been our weakest track cycling event and shows the progress achieved under McCulloch.

 

Her going back to Australia is going to be a big loss to the squad. 

[Adriano 590]

Women's New Zealnd team can get into TOP8 after World Champs!

Disappointing results to see the least for 

mTP and mTS are essentially stagnating. Although TP seems unpredictable we always look a step behind the best teams.
In TS what can you expect with a 17.68 start ? Horrendous, but at least Poland is not that far. 

 

wTS now enter the danger zone by failing to reach the "QF". No progression whatsoever, with the 500m and sprint WC in the squad. 

 

Very impressive lap 3 time for Finucane. She'll definitely be a threat.
