Default Olympic Cycling Velodrome Pics

A few of you will know that Liz and I were lucky enough to get Tickets for the Velodrome for yesterday afternoon's session. Here's a few pics

I didn't know which day you were going, but I kept looking for you in the crowd Fizz

You lucky lucky garstad Very envious.

The womens pursuit must have been great, especially as they nearly caught the US team.

Same as the mens team, as soon as I saw that they'd broken the WR in qualifying, I knew that the gold was almost a certainty.

I watched the Devil in the Omnium, poor old Ed Clancy, he really rode his socks off

Did you see Paul McCartney in the crowd?

The girls were fantastic, they were visably faster the all the other teams and I think in another few laps they would have caught the USA girls, who were no slouches themselves.

Kenny did rode well to.

Clancy looked completely knackered on the lap he got eliminated on. I didnt know it at the time but apparently he pulled his foot out and had to ride two laps with it un clipped before he got it sorted out.
