Must be good points for the lads, now with that Hors cat. Probably relatively safe now with 2, and Kye increasingly looks a real threat come Paris

 

Unfortunately the push for two on the women's side looks goosed at this point, but if Schriever is fit and on form, should be good to o for at least the podium

Prospects probably don't look great although I think the gap is still closeable but we aren't taking advantage of the European Cup to close the gap ahead of the last tranche of competitions. It might come down to the results at the World Champs and last year :GBR netted about 300+ points more than :COL.

 

Things would be a lot easier if Shriever had competed in the European Cup events but I guess getting Hutt to the Olympics would be regarded as a bonus. Hopefully by the time the qualifying window opens for LA, we'll still have Shriever, Hutt will have moved to the elite and we'll have Sienna Harvey and Betsy Bax in the under-23s giving us the potential for a full strength squad.

Don't we have 2 spots in the women's anyway - 1 for Bethany for winning the WCs last year and another for being in the 6-10 nation range?

No - the World ranking quotas taking precedence so the World champs quota will be reallocated to the highest placed NOC which has not qualified anyone through the rankings.

Le boo. Not that it likely matters from a reasonable shot of a medal I suppose. But there's always the "everyone else crashes" chance in BMX racing. :p

Yeah - it's not like we would be leaving at home a medal chance on the women's side but it would be good experience for Emily Hutt. It would be a disaster on the men's side if we can't take two though given we have 4 world class riders in the elite ranks.

Pfeiffer Georgi - the girl with the backwards name - gets a very prestigious third in the Paris-Roubaix.  Hopefully it will lead to a promotion, at the moment she is a bit stuck in a super-domestique position.

She looked really good throughout as well, solo'd from the second group to get across to the lead group, just got eaten up on the sprint

No :GBR on the start lists for round 5 of UEX BMX Racing European Cup :(.

 

Sienna Harvey is competing in the women's juniors, but this would have been perfect opportunity for her to take the step up to the under-23 and score some ranking points for the team.

    • The Democrats have only themselves to blame for the outcome. However, just to think what were two candidates for a president of the most powerful country is just laughable. The meltdown of European countries on these results is quite a popcorn moment though, love to see it, especially the German one.  Also, someone said RIP Ukraine, RIP Palestinians - like Palestinians were doing so well over the past year while Democrats were still in charge, so now is gonna be even worse? Yeah, Trump might not be as generous in helping Ukraine though.   
    • because jews decide everything in USA , no matter voters are ...have you ever heard about "tampering"...jews killed Kennedy  , Monica Iivinsky sucked Bill Clinton , Satanyahu did put an item of spy into the toilet of Boris Johnson ..etc ...etc ,   tampering votes shocked you
    • What I'm surprised at here is that the sunrise and sunset both change by 27/28 minutes over those two weeks, providing almost an hour more of sunlight from the beginning of the Games to the end. I didn't realize it changed that fast. Growing up in Canada, I always felt like one day in late October we suddenly got 4 hours less sunlight, and one day in early April we suddenly got 4 hours more.

    • He's a businessman and the world simply doesn't remember what the world looks like when USA adopts isolationism. Trump will get involved if only he can make a profit. And his #1 geopolitical enemy is China. Not Russia, North Korea or Iran but China. Modern society especially in Europe simply doesn't understand that becuse nobody is old enough to remember the Monroe Doctrine which predates fascism by a full century. I don't think even in USA they call James Monroe a fascist
    • Fans of FC Heidenheim making a lot of noise outside my front window just now.  
    • Vast majority of Americans will disagree with you. That's all that counts. I dont see many differences in so called fascism between democrats and republicans. Both were bombing any country they picked, both were ruining systems they wanted to.  I prefer reds more because they are at least honest about it. Also, i dont like what this ultraliberalism brought to our whole Earth. Whoever opposes this level of insanity will have my vote.  
    • YEC Semi-Finals are set:   Aryna Sabalenka vs Cori Gauff Barbora Krejcikova vs Zheng Qinwen   Krecikova beating Gauff in two sets means Iga Świątek was eliminated with 2-1 record. Sabalenka clinched Year-End #1 after winning the first two matches and Świątek not winning all three RR matches before already.
    • He is fascist. Even use the same narration like famous german/Austrian painter.
