And a British person making the final, that country thats well known for producing clean 100m sprinters. [devils advocate/pink font]
MJ seemed to suggest he’s always been a good 100m runner but prioritised long jump until last year. Granted he’d never ran below 10s until few months ago, but I’d rather suggest he’s one of lucky super-responders to shoes giving ~3% benefit than assuming cheating.
Saw it in swimming 2009, athletes who were good but lucky to make finals suddenly became world beaters for one year by being one of the lucky ones who got benefit from the suits.
I see the USA are still going with their mirrored drive side bikes. Interesting noone else has copied. If it was more aero, you’d think others would have also adopted
The fact you’re always turning left on the track means it’s better to have the right hand side of the bike with clean air as that air is moving relatively faster, or something like that!
Definitely went too hard early on! If it is a GB v Germany final, then it’s going to come down to the wire if GB ride like that, with Germany always a risk to come back in the back half
Turns too long? And the 4th rider weak. It was a second inside the world record of an hour ago mind you.
Germans were perfection but it’s much easier to just pace a ride I think, than have a new world record by 3 secs set 10 mins ago as a sudden new target. Fairly sure we wouldn’t have gone quite as hard first km if we’d have raced before the Germans. Tomorrow will be fun😀
