LOL, major snafu from the organizers, as they forgot to ring the bell on  final lap and they barely edge out  without knowing they were in the final lap. At least unless they were counting them in their head.

Obviously didn’t because they didn’t run the sprint.

Wonder if they were in the bottom 2, would they have let them run again, as it definitely impacted their time compared with Ireland.

Italy take the lead, but they need to beat one more team, if they would like to compete for Gold.

Without Balsamo there's no way Italy can compete...hopefully Germany will be worse than 4:07

Well, the choice must be offered, because at the moment they are in the bronze at best stream.  Can easily find time before close tonight, they are used to doing two runs a day.

Pretty wobbly & uneven from . 
 

Bellringer is ringing extra loudly now, could break the rope.

Didn't know Kristen Faulkner was in the team to be honest, or that she does track at all. That would explain why the changes were off.

 Always seem to double up their best road/track riders, so they’re usually under-rehearsed.

Gee, no-one expected  to be that bad!
