Italy DNF. But they have points for quota.

So how many points will the Italy obtain if the team pursuit riders did not finish the race?

These results are terrible for GB, we will need a miracle to turn it around before Rio. I am predicitng a HUGE funding cut for British cycling we could set us back even further.

One glimmer of hope is that a big National Talent search has been launched for Cycling. But the problem for GB remains, there is more money in road cycling so our best male and female endurance athletes focus on the road rather than the track.

I have questions about women's kerin. For example Russia has team in sprint and now both athletes can compete in kerin or there is some rules? Gnideko is best Russian athlete in kerin,but she is not part of Russian sprint team,so she will be now without Olympics? I'm very confused..

 

btw quotas for Hong Kong,Korea,Lithuania,Cuba,Colombia,Ukraine,Ireland,Great Britain and Azerbaijan.
