Far out!

The Italians post a World record to pip us by hundredths of seconds.

[Bovidae]

NZ's time would have been a WR too.

[KiwiMurph]

The same thing happened last night when NZ were chasing Italy's time.

Great race!

[WillieTheWaiter]

so close to perfection.

bloody sport.

[WillieTheWaiter]

WHAT THE FUUUUUCK!

[Rapido]

You fucking Danish retards!!!!

[KiwiMurph]

Hahahahah GB Bradbury their way into a gold medal ride (well.... different to Bradbury... but still)

[WillieTheWaiter]

that is one of the most mental things i've ever seen in sport!

and you fucked my multi you tards!

[Rapido]

Now we get a fucking strong team in the bronze race, instead of the GBR rabble.

[Chris B.]

Surely we're not going to end up riding against the fucking Danes for a Bronze?

Get off your bikes you British arses.

[WillieTheWaiter]

and herein lies the issue kids with the latest aero position that the riders are using now not looking where you're going

[Toddy]

Did Britain plan that like Bradbury did? Knew they had no chance to win so left a rider to hang back in the hope the Danes rode into the back of him?

I don't think so cause they haven't posted a time - bronze is just 1st 2 from the 'others' outside silver and gold.

[Crucial]

How the fuck does that work? You crawl across the line in a slow time but make the final?

[mikedogz]

my understanding is that we have to get top two best time amongst the the other six that aren't in the final. Danish would not have posted a time with only two finishing.

That's what they'll be telling some suckers in a decades time who have paid to hear them in an after dinner speech.

[Bovidae]

Go Italy!

Commentators were saying the Brit who peeled off had kept riding, while the weakest Dane stopped. That happened - though these two commentators seem particularly clueless, so I doubt they're much of a source.

I don't suppose the re-ride rule that gave the Aussies a second chance applies when they're racing?
