Men's TS - going to be exactly the same isn't it

 

Bronze

Gold 

 

Was pretty close, but Hoogerland pulls it out as always.  Under the new, revised scoring system  take gold by winning 2 laps to 1.

In hindsight, GB swapping out Ledingham-Horn for Turnbull on the final lap was the wrong call. He went 2 tenths slower than Ledingham Horn did in the previous rounds, it would not have been enough to beat the Dutch and Hoogland but they may have been able to break the British record of 41.7.

Charlton and Tanfield looked decent for the IP later in the week but GB were desperately missing Vernon and Hayter in place of Tidball & Gill here- hopefully they'll be back in the lead up to LA (Maybe even Tarling for Tanfield could be an option by then - Vernon, Charlton, Tarling, Hayter would be an unbelievably strong quartet).

This was a suprise. But to be honest: this was the weakest field of participants in history for the women's teamsprint. I missed New Zealand and China. Germany and GB sent their B-team. Not to mention the talented Russian team.

 

Where are Katy Marchant and Sophie Capewell?

Thank God for Hoogland! Our team was very impressive again, but Roy van den Berg gets old. He failed to get three good starts in a row: 17.499 in the final was slow. That first position of the Dutch men will cause problems in the future. But for now very happy with the win of course!
