Canada will be out of the 8, but still have two nations cups.

Ah poor start for Poland..... it's  inpossible to win this quota with a Canada 

Canada likely to fail to make it through to round 1 so at least at this event, Poland will outscore them.

The reports are showing  as DSQ so pretty sure that their second rider crossed the line before the first rider had completed their lap. Have a feeling the same thing happened to GB at the London Olympics in 2012.

Not sure but  were in last place by a long way at the 125m (half lap) timing.

Maybe it's a problem at the start?

Canada is probably winner of the continental, virtually we need more than 200 points from both world cups.

If it was a technical issue they would have been entitled to restart. If it was rider error then they wouldn't get restart and I would have thought they would have still ridden through the full distance because with their quality, they probably could still have done enough to get into top 8. 

 

It's bloody annoying not having any video or text commentary to see what the hell is going on

Looks like Poland are up against Japan in the 1st round - that's a winnable match up for Poland if they can show the form that they had in the Europeans.

The live timing briefly showed them as 19 seconds after 125m which is what a good team would take to cover 250m.

It's all very strange

Japan recently is really strong. I think start of the race was bad this time.

Disappointing run for  women pursuit team after their great performance at Europeans. They finish 3.444 seconds behind  in their 1st round match-up.

The same names? I think this team is  safe for olympic direct quota.
