Track Cycling at the Summer Olympic Games 2016

I guess that's a nail to the coffin of the idea that omnium is riders who are mediocre at all. Olympic record (though of course individual pursuit hasn't been in the Olympics since 2008)

Hansen is unstopable and Gaviria had a horrible pursuit. Sigh.

Let's see. Elimination is afterall a weakness for him.

Finally, my favorite event of the Omnium, the elimination race

 

Go Prado   Let's hope he finishes top 10 in the end.

And there it goes the wrong way!

How can Boudat keep on sprinting every simple time?

You were so right. What a race. And this is wide open again.

Well. Lasse was pretty tired after the pursuit. It gives quite an advantage to those in the bottom of the scratch...

The scheduling was horrible. It's not an excuse because it hurts everyone, but the idea is to have these guys at their top for all three events. At least tomorrow the time trial is in the morning and there's at least 80 mins between the flying lap and the points race.
