Grassmarket 3,012 Posted January 10 #21 Share Posted January 10 44 minutes ago, Rafa Maciel said: top the qualifying for Women's Team Pursuit ahead of and although worth saying that this whilst this was the same Italian squad as the World Champs, GB didn't have their strongest rider - Katie Archibald. Germany will be happy to be above GB in qualifying but perhaps worried about the gap to Italy - in Glasgow they were only 0.3 seconds behind but here they were 1.9 seconds adrift. were able to dust themselves off to take the restart and finish in 5th place. are confident enough of their place that they can afford to allow Archibald to work up points in the Nations' Cup solo events rather than here, is my interpretation.

Agreed - they've already sewed up their spot for Paris and with Archibald taking part in the champions league at the end of last year, it is just a case of managing her schedule so that she peaks for Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 949 Posted January 10 #23 Share Posted January 10 Quite a good time for Ireland given the circumstances. Lara Gillespie was rested for the qualifying round and she'll come in tonight in place of Erin Creighton. Tehy won't get top 4 but they're consistently top 5 in Europe now which is a considerable achievement from such a low base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,515 Posted January 10 #24 Share Posted January 10 Last event of afternoon session just wrapped up with finishing just ahead of in Men's Team Pursuit with finishing in 3rd. finished in 5th place and will ride against in the 1st round. GB could do with them being a bit off the pace tonight as they look to close the gap on the Olympic quota spot. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
