F*cking YES!

Ooh. That's what I said.

Ok, not almost back to his best|, back to his best!

 

[Rasmus]

Hammer time - that wasn't part of the script.

Nice move though.

Anyone watching the Madison?

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

That was truly outstanding.

 

[Stevec047]

Wow what a show those two together just seem unstoppable and you could see how much it meant to them best hour of tv watching for a very long time just wish I had been track side to watch it live.

And despite Carlton Kirby usually being a nobber he called it perfectly; it definitely added to the occasion. I'll give him that one moment of praise.

Yeah spot on. I didn't see it coming to be honest but when they went you could see that it was going to be theirs.

That was the first time I've watched a Madison, and without the commentary explaining it, I'd have been totally lost. Fantastic last quarter of the race, Spain sniffed a medal chance and worked with us to get the lap.

Awesome!

I've watched a few and I can just about tune into a race for about 5 laps. And, as soon as I feel I know what's going on, what was order in my brain gives way to utter bewildering chaos. And I spend the next 10 laps or so simply trying to get a handle on the race again.

I missed the replay of Cavendish's off so don't know what happened there. Any explanations?

I really enjoyed that, a great race

There was a brief replay, looks like the cameras missed most of it, but he may have touched wheels, then slid down off the banking.

It's on iplayer:

I watched Trotty smash the points race in the omnium - she played it tactically perfect and had the title sewn up with 40 laps to go - but I had to go out shortly after the madison started. Sounds like I missed a cracking race, dammit.

I still can't believe I witnessed that live. Got to be one of the most thrilling sporting moments I've ever seen, and I've seen a few. They rode it to perfection, and when you think that Cav crashed into the bargain!
