Yeah, although I'm still feeling sorry for her partner. I just hope if Pendleton wins medals her partner isn't bitter towards her.

anyway.. 25 minutes until it starts!!

Subbed for 4 o'clock

[Serentonin]

This should be good.

Pendleton in the Cycling and then over to Athletics for Ennis and Johnson-Thomas.

We're now crossing live to the Velodrome! Woo

[TheMagicRat]

Woohoo! I love the Keirin. What a creation by the Japanese. Apparently it's big business in Japan with loads of money bet on races over there. Got to love the Japanese.

Cav looks quite uncomfortable alongside Jake.

I always find Cav looks a little awkward when he's talking but I do love it when he talks. He's quite sarcastic and very matter of fact.

He did yesterday too, poor bloke. Should stick to the cycling

[Miracle Day]

[Roobsa]

The guy pacing them looks like he's from Paris.

[The Rusty Spork]

What is the purpose of the Keirin? To do the most laps in the time allotted?

First across the line after 8 laps wins.

[Drewski]

The keirin is a pretty rediculous spectacle for all but the last 2 laps.

[Roobsa]
