Re: General Cycling ThreadWe have Pendleton in the sprint, the women's team pursuit. I'm guessing we have a potential gold in the mens sprint as well so we'll probably be looking at 6?(Original post by pol pot noodles)
Three golds out of four now in the velodrome, what's the odds on us beating 2008's track haul of 7 golds? -

Laura Trott (
) will be favourite for the women's omnium. I'll be surprised if we get a medal in the men's omnium.

Re: General Cycling ThreadThe cycling lot are such a cool bunch. Cav seems too cool imo. Apparently Cook is the only person who isn't. Arrogant and nasty apparently. Pendleton is apparently quite a jealous person. Thought i'd let you guys know my inside knowledge of British cycling
It's certainly amazing how world records get broken all the time in it though. So good to watch. -

Re: General Cycling ThreadJust spotted this thread.
I got quite worried for a minute after Pendleton won, when the camera panned to that mean commissaire and he was frowning and discussing some footage of the race - literally sat there like "YOU CAN **** OFF"
Oh well, she won. Finally beaten Meares, and in the best place to do so.
UCI aren't going to like us dominating again, are they?
PUT THE MADISON BACK IN. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF CYCLING. -

Re: General Cycling ThreadForget about our dominance of Cycling, 28 out of the 42 medals the US have won have come from the pool. The governing bodies of swimming and the Olympic Comitee should take a serious look at themselves.(Original post by siani-chan)

Or they could add in a few more Cycling events for us Brits to win.

Re: General Cycling ThreadReally? Because both men's sprint and men's omnium don't look great gold chances.(Original post by JaggySnake95)
6 finals left in the track cycling and 5 realistic chances of golds!
Thought she had fallen behind.
