I read somewhere if Ineos were a country, they would be 20th on the Olympic medal table, dont know how true it is as I havent checked

3 Golds and a Bronze so far (if you're counting Ganna), so yeah that's about right.
Carapaz Road Race
Pidcock MTB
Dennis TT
Ganna Team Pursuit

Yep, they'd have 3 golds: Carapaz, Pidcock and Ganna. As well as a couple of other medals

I would love to see Jason Kennys power file from the Keirin!

I remember when Jack was just a wee guy with a Ridley needing fixed. Didn't think I'd see him on the tele riding for GB.
I like Kenny he looks nothing like what a Athlete of his calibre should look like
Lets hope the new UCI Track series will give the sport more TV time instead of just the Olympics, would love to go to Japan and watch it, I think its the only thing you can gamble on or something.

It is superb. More money is bet on the final (as in, one single race!) of the biggest GP weekend in Japan than is bet on the entire horse racing season in the UK..... It's insane.

Blimey UAE seems to be signing every man and his dog.

Not many people here will know but a big name in women's cx testing positive! Disappointing to see, obviously a very legally written press release, most ridiculous thing is how there is no consistency and she has got 4 years and Betsema who tested positive twice got 6 months...

They're building a big team with a bit of everything!

Indeed!

Where do they keep finding these roads!

That must have been annoying as he was only beat by Roglic who was the last man on the road. Waiting all that time only to fall to the last man

Yeah I get that, what I meant was if you were watching it hoping you was going to win and was waiting only to lose it on the last man.
Haha I know! Had recorded it luckily so fast forwarded through most of it. TTs are so dull to watch!
Intelligent win from Taaramae today, sat on when he needed earlier in the stage and then just survived the pushes quite easily.
Yates looked super controlled today and the strongest of the lot, the way he moved up to De La Cruz early in the climb. Fairly comfortable for Bernal and Roglic it seemed, Bahrain had some odd tactics as Landa couldn't finish it off when they pushed on and seemed to fade quickly although finished on same time. Will see how he fares at the weekend.
