Team GB Daily: Day 11

Recommended Posts

I managed to get a very healthy bet on new zealand women, everyone had Britain as favourites, i think bronze would be a success as our generational best rider on the women's side got injured

Perhaps Kenny’s 8 golds was overblown after all…

Has she actually said that? geeze. I'm confident of 4....maybe 5....8 takes a lot of luck!

Of course it was, she's just saying what people want to hear, she's not going to say the team is bad on the BBC. Anyone following the sport knows that 8 is fanciful. The women's sprint side look incredible but the endurance are missing their best rider and the men's sprint as improved as they looked yesterday aren't going to be picking up a gold unless something weird happens in the Kierin.

Not really. We were the first to have a fully pro, dedicated women’s team.  The others inevitably caught up.

 

But I still think we’re OK, we rested two first choice riders.

 

Sorry, misunderstood your point. Seldom watch the BBC!

NZ and the USA were always going to be heading up the women’s team pursuit after Katie got injured.

 

we are 2 seconds away without Neah. I’m interested to see if she lines up tomorrow… will need her to get close to the US.

 

Carlin may be in the mix for individual medals and a team sprint medal looks possible now.

 

going to be gold chances in both madisons, men’s omnium, men’s TP, women’s sprint and Keirin.
