What are our girls doing in the Madison... just on a leisurely Sunday ride

 

[Alfonz]

I thought we were supposed to be a medal chance in this madison, but we look fairly shithouse so far. Sadly it looks like GB will romp this in.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Wait, did I miss Richo?

I thought he was on in about an hour?

His first race was on before he lost just he has two more chances or no more.

Wait, did I miss Richo?

I thought he was on in about an hour?

His next race will be on after they complete the Women's Madison in about an hour.

 

[Jeremias]

His first race was on before he lost just he has two more chances or no more.

So is he still in contention for gold?

Since when? Our women's team has been average since the Meares sisters retired

 

[Doggy]

So is he still in contention for gold?

If he doesn't lose the next race

He probably will though

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

So is he still in contention for gold?

Yep but he’ll have to win the next two races

 

[Plugger35]

I've got no idea what is going on in the Madison, the Dutch girls seem to be doing well, the Aussies seem to be in trouble.

The Kiwi girls seem to be neither doing well or in trouble.

I'm just going by what the commentators are saying.

A lot of them have gone to road cycling since there's actual money and career prospects there
Dutch are dominant across women's cycling

I think he mentioned sea-gulls (well, birds, at least) during one point too. Bill Lawry would be smiling down.

Bloody hell mate you gave me a heart attack. Had to make sure Bill was still alive.

That's not surprising, there are a lot of bikes in the Netherlands, they can probably cycle before they can walk.

The same with Belgium who are making a charge.

This Australian pair won silver at the 2023 world championships.

 

[Eraser]

It’s crazy how like 60 laps have gone by since Australia was even on screen

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Get Raygun on the bike

 

[Plugger35]

The crowd are roaring as France are making a charge.

 

[Plugger35]

Get Raygun on the bike

Raygun would need training wheels or she would fall off.

 

[juice t]

I would point out that the Brits were favoured to win that race

So once again Laura Kenny has egg on her face

 

[Cyber_punk]

No gold for the Brits

So good result

 

[Doggy]

This Australian pair won silver at the 2023 world championships.

They weren't anywhere near it now. Tactics well off

 

[Plugger35]

Italy winning the gold despite the commentators barely mentioning them.

It seems like the commentators didn't have a clue what was going on either.

Great Britain get the silver and the Netherlands who I thought were winning get the bronze.

 

[Plugger35]

Ch9 interviewing Raygun.

"I was never going to beat these B girls but I just did what I do best".

Not breaking obviously, I don't know what else she does best, talking shit by the sounds of it.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Raygun being interviewed on channel 9

 

[juice t]

And the French are 1-3 down against Spain in the Gold Medal match

Still half a chance of retaining 3rd

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Creativity?
