European Championships 2018 Glasgow *Spoilers*

[Pro Tour Punditry]

The evening session last night was just team after team hitting the track to do pursuit times.

There was no filler or other crap.

Hopefully with a busy night of pursuit/scratch/sprints, tonight is more of the same!

It would appear not...

Although the interview with Sooper Dooper Gigantic G is good

Was that a different Great Britain line-up for the men's pursuit tonight? Three rainbow jerseys riding today compared to two yesterday.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Is there no racing tonight?

Or are the BBC just knocking out mini-magazine pieces?

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Oh FFS, Balding has just mentioned SPOTY...

I'm away to see if Murder She Wrote is on.

I think I heard mention that Tanfield came in for the final, no idea who was dropped tho.

I also tire of her.

I also tire of her.

I used to like her, and thought she would develop into a very good "anchor" for sports coverage; unfortunately, she's developed into a complete pain in the arse

 

[Va Va Froome]

Had a proper look into the Great Britain bronze team and compared it to the qualifying team:

Ethan Hayter (WC)
Steven Burke,
Kian Emadi (WC)
Charlie Tanfield (WC) - replaced Oliver Wood

Ah right, that makes sense.

Not sure why Mark Stewart is not in the squad for this one; he's good mates with Wood and Emadi, had been riding well, and it was a home crowd for him.

British Cycling will be clinically following their plan for Japan 2020 to the book:
They'll have no place for the romance of a home Championship!

For those who don't like Clare Balding, Eurosport are also covering it.

I'm watching Eurosport now. Men's omnium, Viviani has to be a strong favourite for this.

Viviani's bike is a bit blingtastic isn't it.
