me to keith...just finished nightshift.. and it looks like i will be late getting to bed..lol g/f said why dony you tape it and watch it when you get up...told her to give her head a shake

The Madison is so dangerous and unpredictable that we can't guarrantee anything in that despite having an awesome duo... and Pendleton will be up against it against the very strong home favourite, Guo. So I am cautiously optimistic today rather than certain.

 

[Renard]

Good luck to all the GB riders today. VP one up already

Cheers dodgy.

gao and pendleton have both made mistakes. pendleton still won though, so psychologically she has one over gao, should they meet in the final.

hoy should win this one.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

he does. now can kenny make it a 1-2?

 

[Renard]

Whether Gao or Meares goes through they are going to be disadvantaged by the extra match.

Looks like an all GB final in the mens.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Guo's gone! Terrible bike handling... luckily they get to restart.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Damn that was close - Guo got it but I think she might be disqualified. She probably shoudl be be, but will the referee have the courage?

 

[Renard]

That was a right old ding dong! When you see the incident in slow motion I think the judges made the right decision.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Gao is out! I reckon Vicky has it sown up then, but you never know...

 

[Flying_Monkey]

So it's the Madison next... my favourite piece of track insanity... anyone who says track cycling is boring has never seen a Madison.
