Aint no stopping him ;)


I can fully understand why he has withdrawn from the TT, but his manager/adviser should have told him to make up an excuse ( an injury??) rather than say he was exhausted/fatigued . The Swisse people will not be impressed.

Track cycling has been great this morning, plenty of controversy with China & GB disqualified in the women’s team sprint, Aus picked up the bronze.
GB win the mens team sprint, Aus finished 4th
The 4,000m mens team pursuit is going to be a cracker tomorrow night Aus Vs GB

GB should have been DQ'd for deliberately crashing so the race was restarted

Don't like it, but by the rules it was all above board. Fingers crossed they change that quick smart because it's pretty dirty.

I can't believe this shit. They cut off Anna Meares race to go to a 3 minute ad break then an interview with Prince Billy and Harry. Kate wasn't even there FFS, nor Pippa? And Billy says how well we are going in the swimming?

it might be a fast track for everyone else but to them its a super fast track. There smashing everyone it's too the point where no one else should even bother racing against them. I would also like to know why the mens team that deliberately crashed didn't get kicked out of the olympics. The badminton players where kicked out because they did something deliberately to have a better shot at gold and so did these guys.

Rules state any crash in the first 100m is a restart..they just played to the rule

Same argument can be applied to the badminton.
