So is that even points between Trott and Hammer now?

Russinating · 7 Aug 2012 at 16:24

The commentators are duff at times. Looked quite clear that Trott was third there but they reckon 4th?

Edit: Yeah 3rd, numpties.

Hammer is 2 points ahead.

Trott boxed out, shame but still possible!

ps3ud0 · 7 Aug 2012 at 16:25

Trott should have closed the door at 2.5laps, she left it open, widened it and Hammer said thank you...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Hammer now leads Trott by 2 points.

what happens if they're tied on points after the TT?

Russinating · 7 Aug 2012 at 16:27

Goes down to time but can't remember from which event.

Yas786 · 7 Aug 2012 at 16:27

One more event to go to figure out who gets gold, silver and bronze.

wikipedia:

When two riders are tied on points, the combined time of the three time trials will break the tie amongst the riders

Trott doesn't look as dominant as our other cyclists but a guaranteed silver possibly gold will do us nicely.

Merlin5 · 7 Aug 2012 at 16:28

So Trott has to win the 500m race at around 5pm to get gold?

Russinating · 7 Aug 2012 at 16:28

Love the stare out at the start of the sprint when they're stationary. I'd stick my tongue out

All I think. Don't they combine the time from all timed events?

So whats left, 500m time trial?

And Hammer to come 4th, or 3rd and Trott be faster across the 3 TTs... I think!

All the timed events - flying lap, 3k pursuit and 500m time trial IIRC

Gold gone IMHO...
