If this were a bigger race, Sir Wiggins would have had a fit of the wheezes the day before, juiced up on a TUE and won. Alas, not this time.

A few thoughts (from a track ignoramus) after that.
The Madison chase isn't anywhere near as confusing when seen in the velodrome as it is on TV. It makes perfect (well, nearly perfect) sense when you can see the whole circuit. How the hell did that event get dropped from the Olympics?
Katie Archibald ... wow. That was some procession of wins.
Does BC have a fast-track talent search program for potential star Derny riders? I've got the physical attributes (large, old, a bit daft looking).
Is Carlton Kirby actually more annoying when commentating on track than on the road, or is it simply that he's more annoying each time you hear him?

It's like all these things, it makes sense when not filtered through the view someone else wants you to have, and when you can see the whole track.
Both. Actually, h'e just more annoying - no qualification needed.

I bet Kirby follows people around the supermarket.
"Whoooaahhhh, that was close! So near to choosing the Tomato soup but he went for the Mushroom...this is blah blah blah blah"

I guess you're watching the tracks in Glasgow but I've got the BBC live stream cast to my telly so I've no idea what Kirby might be on about. Brotherton and co here. Anyhow, did you think the Chinese rider took out the saffer, who took out the American, who made the poor Italian hit the deck faster and harder than she can ride? I just about agree but it's close.

Mrs Marmion has TV control (as fecking usual...) so I am on laptop and Eurosport - the crash all looked a bit "amateurish" and "bunchy" and could have been avoided IMO. But a sore one.
