1st Cycling Poll for the games!

Can I enter Netherlands A, Netherlands B and Netherlands C for the men?  

[Jinzha 702]

I voted for the Netherlands men team sprint and the other five were sort of guesses. GB and NZ on the men's side and Australia, Germany and China on the women's side.

I'd find it hard to believe Great Britain won't win a medal. If there's one nation where the years before the Olympics in specifically track cycling mean nothing..

NED for gold and GBR and GER fighting for silver and bronze among the men...

 

much closer among the women...I picked GER, CHN and RUS, but frankly I don't even imagine in which order...

[CCB 565]

I really really really hope The Netherlands will win this (men's), but I refuse to believe it. GB will be the best again at the right moment. 

 

For me as a sports fan, the Games are a success when the men win this gold!!

Germany won’t have a shot at winning a medal on the men’s side. The best possible outcome is a 6th place. On the women’s side anything but gold would be disappointing for Germany.

 

I think on the men’s side the Netherlands are a lock for gold, GB is a lock for silver and France/Australia will fight for bronze.

Men's : Netherlands lock for Gold, GB lock for Silver, France Australia and NZ for Bronze.

Women's : Germany Gold, Russia China and Australia battling for Silver and Bronze

Not convinced GB will be good enough to challenge for anything except bronze in the men's event. Dutch gold here.

I have a strong feeling that GB may again dominate cycling . GB is just another team between Olympics but come Games time they are in a class of their own ,

Well this has been the pattern in the last few Games 

If China or Russia or  any other number of countries did this people would be very suspicious 

 Maybe GB just has better chemists or friends in the right places but the shit thrown at them by suspicious onlookers just doesn't seem to stick .

or at least it has so far although I see even the UK authorities are becoming very suspicious of UK cycling 

It's all rather like the US and Lance Armstrong and CO although with a bigger budget and a very compliant Cycling body
