Three hours (at midnight MST) so far watching from NZ on NBC Sports Extra. Good coverage in my opinion.

wow - the men's keirin podium is eilers, levy, and baranoski!

carleton

Really?! Sweet!!

queerpunk

yup!
baranoski's obviously upped his game this year, but he's also had his fair share of luck. Take a look at how far back he is, super late - and just surfs this extremely late wave to the front as Kenny and Schurschin (sp?) are fading.

I'd say it was a pretty smart move with 2 Germans in the field. You'd figure that one would lead out the other. Notice how he never came off of Levy's wheel. There were some speed wobbles, but it seemed like he was set on riding the train.

Disappointed to see Queen Meares only take a silver but she injured her back so considering the circumstances its a good result. Big Matt Glaetzer did well, do you think hes on the rise?

queerpunk

the other performance worth noting, IMO, is jenn valente taking 5th in the omnium - she won the omnium pursuit. she's young, and if she has the support to develop for another four years, she could be a serious threat at the 2020 olympics. but rio might be a bit too soon for her.

carleton

Well, she's had world-class coaching for a very long time now. She seems to have this fight in her that shows up for big events.

But, the cool thing is that it seems that women get faster in their 30s as men are starting to slow down. So, I agree that her best years are still ahead of her.

So far the only USA TV coverage I have found is one hour next Monday on Universal HD. UCI stream is blanked out in US. Still searching for more coverage.

Watching The Races

If you want to open up some more options.

queerpunk

y'all hear the rumblings that this year is the last year for the world cup format "as we know it"?

carleton

Weren't they going to shift the dates closer to the Olympics? Instead of starting in November or December, starting in the spring or summer?

I think the original winter World Cup time table was to allow for Pro Roadies to race them. But, now, very few (if any) Pro Roadies race World Cup, so why bother accommodating their schedules?

queerpunk

that may be, but it's said that they're changing the competition format.

carleton

Oh! I hadn't heard anything about that. What was mentioned?

queerpunk

Pretty much just that:

carleton

Wow. I'll keep my eye out for news.

I wonder if this has anything to do with that co-ed stuff that they were testing a while back.

700wheel

NBC sports extra will stream the WC at 1:00 AM MST Sunday morning (perhaps this is the UCI stream).

What do you mean? He's only gonna race 1 day? Why not the entire omnium?

taras0000

No idea, but apparently he's only racing the 10k Scratch, Pursuit, and Elimination race
