More "live" Saturday track action

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


Some old updates that aren't entirely awful


And there'll be even more coming to this spot just as soon as we can be bothered trawling through our somewhat embarrassing archives.

Simon and Anthony


Nigel and company


Johnathan & friends, even though they're always last with the news and the website is horrible


Dutch cyclists we like because they're better/more attractive than British riders

Bobke Strut is so good that it deserves a category of its own

Arrr, bike pirates

George!

Things we hate so much we're not even going to link to them

  • Trust But Verify
  • Trek
  • Assos

Our e-mail inbox isn't just for Japanese gambling promotions and the latest advances in penis enlargement chemistry, you know

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
