Team GB medal hopes - Cycling

I'm still going to cling to my hope that they give it to Zoe, or is the squad fixed at the 4 named in the road race (so can only be Deignan / Georgi/ Morris)?...

You can't only do the ITT; you have to compete in another event also which means Zoe wouldn't be allowed to do the ITT. Georgi may be given the spot.

It just strikes me as odd naming Morris in both Road and track - thus creating, in theory, a free quota space, without at least considering sticking someone in. I'm assuming the madison team is evans and barker, and possibly barker also in the omnium. 

My guess would be Neah rides the omnium but at this point we are guessing. Madison should be Evans and barker though definitely.

Semi interesting foible.

 

The athletes are now entered in the database, and obviously alternates are also there.

 

Interestingly, Tarling remains listed for track as well as road - obviously, he's an alternate

 

But more interesting is that Elinor Barker is listed for both track and road...

Does this mean she rides the time trial? I'm still not clear how all of the quotas can get shuffled and combined, sure it will come out in the wash!

No, she's listed for all three track events and the road race, but not the time trial. I expect that means she is the reserve for the road race if one of them picks up an injury - although the Backstedt sisters were named as reserves by Welsh cycling.

 

anna Morris is listed for the Road Race, Time Trial and team pursuit - but NOT for madison or omnium

 

Apart from Evans and Barker, only Jess Roberts is named for anything other than team pursuit - she's named for madison.

 

At this stage, either Morris or Georgi is doing the time trial, Barker-Evans is the madison team (and a good one), with one of them also dong the omnium - if Barker has to do Road, it'll be Evans, otherwise I think Barker.

Fair enough, he was always more likely to medal on the track anyway, don't know if it is too late to replace him, but if they could I would assume it would be Fred Wright, 2022 commonwealth TT silver medallist.

I really don't get the reasoning for this as this means only 4 riders will be allowed to be used for the Men's endurance Track squad then, right? So Vernon, Wood, Hayter, Bigham (Wood for Madison too) which is confusing as didn't Charlie Tanfield go a 4:05 in the IP at euros this year? Surely he'd be a much better option for P2 on the TP over Wood? I really don't understand the reasoning why Hayter isn't race the ITT unless he's (hopefully not) Injured/ill.

It may be one of the others is ill/off form and they therefore cannot spare Hayter in the heats of the TP.

 

It does seem bizarre that GB went to the trouble of qualifying two entries for both TTs and then don't bother using the second one in each.

There is a fair bit of that across a few sports this games. Qualifying a spot and then not using it effectively.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
