[RSR]

Epic! Hoy!!!

 

[mollymoo]

Now I feel better

 

[robfosters]

Superb Chris. next stop House of Lords.

 

[Jonny69]

Jesus Christ, was Hoy's front wheel even on the ground when he went over the line?

 

[Vanquish-Storm]

I do not know much about cycling but that Hoy race was a bit too close for my liking!!

VP was robbed!

 

[qqg3]

Played Hoy, atleast we can finish on a happy-golden note.

 

[SPARC]

how did he do that lol immense power!

 

[The_One]

had the turbo spooled nicely ready for the last bend

 

[Marsman]

Not really sure what goes on with that event. What's with the messing around and riding slow at the beginning?

Tactics. Going too fast uses up energy, leaving nothing for the final sprint. If one rider feels the other is not alert, they will try to catch them out going for it sooner.

Awesomeness from Sir Chris Hoy there! Fantastic!

 

[Guerrilla]

Yay Sir Chris

 

[Squark]

had the turbo spooled nicely ready for the last bend

[The_One]

how did he do that lol immense power!

you should watch wang race in the individual sprint more he pops a wheelie all the time

 

[Dj_Jestar]

Wallop! Well done Chris Hoy!

Yes, and yes.

Fair play. Still too gamesmanship-y for my liking, but I won't argue against the rules.

 

[daver]

7 Golds, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze from 10 events with the other event a crappy DSQ, shame we can't enter 3 in the individual events anymore

 

[NZB]

2 bronze medals being given. That's the first good decision the officials have made on the track so far

 

[mmj_uk]

Is that the velodrome over with then? dammit golds will dry up now.

 

[NZB]

Yep, only mountain bike and bmx left for cycling now.

Unfortunately, yeah... Who have we got in mountain biking? Also, BMX? I think we have a good shot there.
