Cycling

Post: # 67370Post Golf Delta »

I watched a bit of the World Championships Cycling from Minsk, Belarus today, mainly to support our gorgeous local girl Laura Trott (she's from Cheshunt), and hoping to recreate the electric atmosphere from the Olympic velodrome. Well that didn't happen, there was about a couple of hundred peeps in the crowd and the exciteable Hugh Porter wasn't commentating, so it was a very drab affair, but at least Laura and her teammates won gold in the team pursuit.

When you're arguing with an idiot, make sure the other person isn't doing the same.

Laura and Dani are pure class. Their interview along with Joanna Rowsell after winning the gold having smashed world records in successive rounds was a big highlight from London 2012. It looks like Elinor is on the same plain. Loved the fact that she bought her books with her to make sure kept up to speed with her school work while helping to blitz the opposition. Hope Joanna Rowsell's move to road racing goes well for her. These young ladies are inspiring and definitely make me proud to be British.
