The olympic games are not very far away, we're within 3 weeks to go and the teams MUST be finalised by tomorrow. So let's talk teams, pollution and human rights (oh noes!)
I've made a guide to help you know what time you need to wake up for each event. The time given is GMT, so add hours or take away however you need to.

Mark Cavendish and Geraint Thomas look set to go head to head for Britain's 2nd Individual Pursuit spot.
Thomas posted a 4.17 in training - a time which was faster than the time that saw Bradley Wiggins win Gold in Manchester this year.

Robert Gesinks blog, in English!! about his road to Beijing.
A really funny and good read.
Some nice quotes:"After a short 1,5 hour ride we came back in our hotel which has the interior of the 70s (not at all retro, it’s just old) for a massage, team presentation and of course a good meal with a big plate of spaghetti. Expecting WiFi-internet in such a place is like expecting an Italian to speak English: Not going to happen!"
-----
"Because the weather in the Netherlands was quite chilly we where wearing way to much clothes for the warm Spanish climate.
Sweating and smelling like an animal we were riding to the French border, looking like a bus full of immigrants trying to find a job in France."
----
"
There is a third effect of altitude. I recently found out during a game of cards with my teammates that people fart up to 10 times more than in normal conditions. Of course at this effect I am also a ‘non-responder’."
---
'But now about my nickname. Robert Gesink, The Condor of Varsseveld. (Varsseveld is the place I was born) Hopefully they didn’t pick the name ‘Condor’ because of the looks of this big bird because it’s the ugliest animal I’ve ever seen."
---
"A big disappointment that was, because I found out the condor only lives in the Andes, in southern Amerika. So probably I saw three big, hungry ducks flying in circles."
---
"
In the same Wikipedia article I also read that the condor flies at high altitudes, so calling me a condor is like comparing a mouse and an elephant because I’m deadly afraid of heights!"

Geraint all the way. Has to be. I don't see how Cav can be considered against Geraint. The arguement for having Geraint is that he is obviously in great form and is very good at individual pusuit. The arguement for having Cav is that he is CAV!
Geraint has to get the place

Anyone seen the new Team GB kit? It's better than the Beijing one but it's not exactly pretty
Sky have sponsored the GB team in a multi-million pound deal over the next 5 years..
I supose it's still a lot better than:

schleck; he is the best sprinter and keirin rider in the world (statistically speaking), I think he's allowed to adopt what style he likes
Jolly; I know, that's why I'd never go out with a sportswoman, it just looks weird...
