Pendleton & Varnish win another and looking good for a final place.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Could be DQ'd.

 

[Alpherah]

Might be DQ'd!

 

[Bennie-Mac]

Oh dear Pendleton could have passed on the first lap...

 

[Cosimo]

What!

 

[ps3ud0]

There's something about this track they're smashing records left right and centre.

They said the same about the Manchester Velodrome in the 2002 Commonwealths...

wow world record broken again!

 

[Alpherah]

What!

Vicky P overtook before the lap marker =/
The french official has a big history of DQ

 

[simpletom]

China are amazing...

I don't think she did. Rewound my TV and watched again. She was certainly wheel to wheel but not ahead.

Please don't disqualify them, not on our home turf!

 

[Alpherah]

Doesn't look good this

 

[Skeeter]

Whats going on? I'm watching without sound.

 

[Cosimo]

This looks bad.

 

[Bennie-Mac]

Oh God...

 

[Alpherah]

Whats going on? I'm watching without sound.

The official (who as I said has history with silly DQ decisions) has, it appears, decided that the GB women over-took before the lap marker.

 

[dante6491]

Yeah, looks like a DQ based on Jamie's explanation. Vicki was wheel to wheel

 

[Russinating]

What a farce.

 

[Firestar_3x]

The availability of correct information during these games has been poor, it's one of my biggest gripes atm.

Did they get disqualified? Nothing being said on the bbc site stream.
