Are we going to have to wait that long, Keith???

I think Keith's been drinking and listening to his old Rush and Nolan Sister's LP's.

Is it fair to be critical of the Madison result?

I was merely pointing out that it's the sole miscalculation that BC have made - they've been otherwise totally flawless... which I suppose is why you notice it. And, yes, as I said earlier, the Madison is an event for which you can't control all the variables... so there is no 'blame' at all. We've had fantastic games in terms of cycling.

There was a BBC interview with Jason Kenny and then Chris Hoy came on too. Chris Hoy was so generous and gracious towards Jason Kenny and the youngster's future prospects. What a true gentleman of sport Hoy was.

CH is the man, just saw him getting the medal and BTW he is a really great guy IRL. Well pleased for him!

 

[alecstilleyedye]

we can be proud of the whole cycling team. hoy is as fine an ambassador for our sport as we'll get. hope he gets a shot of at least one more gold in 2012, although by then i suspect young mr kenny will be our top track sprinter.

Keith should be supporting the Vietnam team.

No need to be defensive as I wasn't aware that you had said anything! My comment was inspired by the beeb's remark.

A great week for us....apparently the only member of our track team that didn't get a medal was Mark Cavendish....all pretty awesome stuff.

Let's hope we do something similar in 2012 and all the Worlds in between!!

Sorry, I thought you might actually be reading the thread...

Cavendish may have come home without a gold, but for my money he is Britains most successful cyclist this year. The Olympics may be the event of the moment, but in the world of pro cycling four TdF stage wins knock any number of golds into a cocked hat.

I bet that will be reflected salary wise by a multiple factor.

 

[rich p]

He did say earlier in the year that he'd take a TdF stage win over the Olympic gold.

I'm sure he feels just a little left out of it all now though.... poor sod.
