Dunno how much of that danish and italian rides was pacing issues, i'd be concerned about denmark going off at that pace and getting in our slipstream....but they also died horribly, mixed bag Italians were maybe a bit of a mess, but I reckon Denmark are a man short of a full quartet. Italians are all big name road riders; don’t practice much. Edited August 5 by Grassmarket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Failure 355 Posted August 5 #103 Share Posted August 5 It's fascinating comparing the heat times to Tokyo. Nobody went quicker than a 3:45 there. But then they went crazy in the SFs and started dropping 3:42s. And crashing into each other, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Failure 355 Posted August 5 #108 Share Posted August 5 And breathe. I'll be honest, I had us 3rd even with Emma in there. So we're already a place higher than I expected. 0.029 between a race for bronze and the guaranteed medal we have now. Eeesh. Germans must be fuming.
