The track will be treated to be perfect. Plus all the new tech for all teams comes with Olympic bikes. They usually keep it under wraps beforehand.

The kit has to be commercially available. Theoretically.

The GB bike’s all yours for £55K.

Yeah but how long before the Olympics?

A quick Google shows me they unveiled it in April! So three months

I wonder what the lead time is?

In the cycling lead up it is predicted to a record smashing track, it's 1m wider than other velodromes at 8m v 7m

Really the BBC haven't told me once.
Still not won a major (World or Olympic).

The BBC have an almost zero percent success rate to heavily promoted athletes getting gold.

Mondo making a 6m pole vault look ridiculously easy. Total superstar.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The amount that the commentary is already crowning Keely is making me nervy

Not today though. C'mon Keely!
