Saw it!

And Jo Rowsell. Shame about Archibald, but she's looking very good even so.

English team have wrong flag on their helmets, couldn't they afford new helmets for these games when representing England rather than GB?

 

[HF2300]

Go Kenny!!

 

[HF2300]

If he doesn't get beaten in the next two then I'll eat my Giro Skyline helmet.

Getting on for teatime.

Getting on for teatime.

Have you considered casque flambée?

 

[HF2300]

Have you considered casque flambée?

I would, but apparently there's only one helping and someone's already spoken for it.

It looks like 10:55 to 14:05 and then 15:55 till 20:50 (from the live coverage tab on http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/commonwealth-games/28214544). Don't ask me which channels though. I'm finding the BBC site impenetrable. Stuff can also pop up under the Red Button thingy.

Great for the home nations in the women's sprint qualification, four through to the finals. Aus set a new games record though...

 

[HF2300]

Getting very bored of bagpipes

It's better than the usual dreadful piped fanfares a la Olympics. Scotland do seem to have rolled out all the clichés though.

 

[HF2300]

English team have wrong flag on their helmets, couldn't they afford new helmets for these games when representing England rather than GB?

Everyone seems to be wearing all sorts of helmets, some national, some not.

 

[HF2300]

135 laps in the points race and lots of splits, Kennaugh lagging a bit?

Edit - take it all back. Tough, quick race with IoM and NZ competing hard, and compensation for Kennaugh for missing the TdF. A lot of sailing close to the wind as well! Well worth watching the last half at least.

 

[Rasmus]

Yes, a truly epic points race.

Very unimpressed with the Manxmen - Kennaugh should be happy only his teammates were DQ'ed.
