    I know this is really cheeky, but will anyone be recording this. Have no TV channels and missed the last few as a result. I just keep rewatching the Polish bout that I managed to get a copy of.

    What are the residence rules for "declaring" for Ireland? I'll have done 4 years next month;)

    Caroline Ryan just finished 9th in the Individual Pursuit
    Good ride and well done

    Noticed the Irish women's squad did not qualify for the event but if they has been there and ridden to form would have been well inside the top 10 and possibly even 5th.
    Well done to the UCI for setting the qualification rules so unfairly :mad:

    It's a relatively slow track though

    Anyone know what the story is with the team GB bikes - the frames have no branding - all black - is it another "secret squirrel" initiative they are trying out?

    Don't they do that occasionally (use particular unmarked frames)? If memory serves they're in some way connected to Boardman, but not made by him. They were rumoured to be mega expensive anyway

    I'd have thought this was pretty spectacular for a girl wh is only cycling 3? years, to be 9th in the world.

    Fair play to her and Cycling Ireland. Hopefully MI has a great performance too
