Track Cycling UCI World Championships 2017

3:22.920 for young Chloe Dygert in the IP qualifying is quite a sensational time 

 

Only a little over half a second slower than the 7 year old world record (set in Aguascalientes, so at high altitude) and more than 6,5 seconds faster than anyone else

So no chance to beat it in the final, as she will overtake the Australian.

 

Though it's cool to see pursuit living up to its name once in a while.

Lauriene van Riessen is a former speed skater.

 

I thought that name sounded familiar.

Yes, I know her much more as a speed skater than a track cyclist  

 

She's the one who pulled this stunt in Rio

And I already thought this would be a super boring competition with the order remaining exactly the same as in qualification.

I saw pretty much exactly this post on the Dutch forum right before Voinova started
