Ligtlee looks like she has spent the entire winter eating non-stop, dear lord. I wouldn't be surprised if she entered the velodrome through the emergency exits.

 

Now I get why she didn't qualify for the sprint and keirin.

Thanks, so she didnt really focus on the world champs? 

Sorry for the late reply, because I don't follow all the news around this, but apparently in December the new Dutch coach (Bill Huck) was rather clear about Ligtlee: "She is too heavy and she knows it. She's overweight and she'll have to change that, because with this weight she won't be able to deliver world class performances."

 

So I guess all that is the reason for her not being that good anymore nowadays (logically if you saw her today, like she ate a 10-person lasagna dinner for breakfast).

And now it's time for the "you're screwed if you are on the inside" race.

Lindsay almost imitating Cavendish there.

Difference being that he didn't actually see that coming.

Some extra support being placed under the podium for Ligtlee, which caused the slight delay.
