    Wow i must say what an awesome fighter katie is, I dare to say she could probably compete in one of the mens lighter weight divisions and be not out of place. She looks out of this world, gold medal has to be guaranteed(touch wood)

    She trains with the lads fyi.
    I'm going to stumble outside and get some exercise myself. I'll be checking back here to see what i'm missing. Hopefully there will be some good highlights on later. There's not enough of a recap on other events later in the night imo.

    No idea if he'll do both. He'll only be 31 then so it's possible!

    Pretty sure it was Jake Humphrey who asked him about track in 2016. Th Guardian also mention a Cav & King Sideburns 'dream team' along side Ed Clancy.

    They can discard one run each, puts immense pressure on the next dutch riders tho.

    Yeah I seen one of the Irish riders, I don't think he knew he was meant to jump the fences not run trough them.

    I jest, our team has the talent, its just getting it right on the day.

    No but we could tar and feather the collaborater.

    Congrats to TGB on that Gold. I just seen the replay.
