Team Sprint Draw (5 heats) - Women  GB v Australia
                                               China v Germany
                                               France v Netherlands
                               
                                 Men  GB  v Germany.
                                          France v Australia

Looks tough, until you realize that there are only 10 teams to start, with 8 teams to qualify.
Nice one Useless Criminals In charge.

Fignon - In my day, doping methods were derisory and the riders´exploits were massive.
For the last 15 years or so  it has been the other way rond: there is a huge number of ways in which riders can dope, and any exploits are derisory.

Loving the obvious attempt to garner some interest by placing GB against Australia, despite it meaning flip all.

It is indeed, but they gave up some other events so they need to get their $$$$$$$$ worth.

Wait, how many rounds of Team Sprint are there? I thought it was just set a time and then straight to finals, do they do quarters/semis as well?

No appeals in track cycling, she is gone and that is that.

Gutted quite frankly. Guaranteed a silver if not for the bad changeover.

GB are a fifth of a second inside the world record pace halfway through their Team Pursuit qualifier.
