More "live" Saturday track action
Published by Halverde on 2/24/2007 at 19:12.
Welcome to the second "live" session of today's Track World Cup session. The last one just kind of fizzled out because we got bored and killed time on MSN Messenger instead, but we're sure that won't happen tonight. No, really.
Men's Sprint
If it's NOT Hoy against Tournant in the final, we'll be surprised. Very surprised. Nothing else is happening. Women's team sprint qualifying: Not really that interesting. (Turns out we were right. As usual.)
Team pursuit
A UCI commissaire we talked to said the GB squad will do a 3:57. But a famous, very successful ex-rider who seemed fairly disintered in talking to us informed us that it'll all fall to pieces tonight. WHO WILL BE RIGHT? It's about a million degrees celsius here at the moment, so whatever happens the time should still be super fast. (Turns out nobody was right. That's the last time we ever trust the idle gossip we overhear in corridors.)
Men's Points Race Final
Nope, no idea what's going on. We sent an excitable text message to someone because we thought there was a person called "Klunge" riding, but it turned out he was actually called "Kluge". There really are NO scoops to be had here today.
More live updates as and when we can be bothered to pay attention to the racing
