Levy won Keirin gold can´t believe that
He was angry because he would like to do the team sprint instead that he done the keirin and something else (forgot that  ) and won gold
I hope GB will win the most gold medals otherwise I have a big problem
I think you might have a problem, Britain may not even get 1 gold in the mens events this year |

They are trying, but the big guns aren't there. At the moment it's all for London 2012. |

So should I not be disappointed that Chris Newton didnt take Gold in the Points Race despite being one of the best in the world? Some of his recent wins were pretty dominant.
How about the Keirin - Edgar and Crampton both were capable of winning but their didnt get their tactics right at all. Never mind the fact that Kenny really should have got further than he did. |

as Jamie Staff said on eurosport he's getting very anoyed at the "bleak outlook" everyone has to start somewhere and this is it. We've got to get the young guys out getting experience.
And this year i'm going to say Eurosports coverage is better than the BBC's

As I said, they are trying. I'm dissapointed too, but this is bringing younger riders through. I don't think the Olympics should be the priority, but it is, and we have to live with that. |

Phinney is a monster. I can't believe he's only 6 months older than me! Wasn't fast enough in the Kilo tho... |

No GB as a whole are not aiming to hard for the wins. There is a reason and that is that 1 - it gives them something to aim for, giving them motivation 2 - Relieves pressure 3 - Enables the GB team to slowly build back what they had at beijing |

Phinney is awesome, I wanna see if he will become a decent road rider. Not bad when he does, but if he can become dominant! |

If you look at examples now, like Wiggins. Its unlikely but, training with lance etc and being a pretty good crit riders its possible. |

The potential is there to be quite a fantastic rider. On the cobbles, he can shine. On the time trials, as well. Looks to me like he can become a very all-round rider.
Of course it's always the same with young riders. He can be the next Merckx (Eddy! ) or he can be the next Ruslan Kaioumov...
