Must be a fast track, [FONT=inherit]“Australia clean sweep the men’s and women’s team pursuits! It wasn’t even close in the end, the Aussie quartet of Alex Porter, Sam Welsford, Leigh Howard and Kelland O’Brien romped home to win by nearly six seconds, and set a world record at the Anna Meares velodrome. Incredible run for the Aussies, who clocked home at 3:49.804, beating the previous world record of 3:50.265. England finished at 3:55.310.” [/FONT] ---

Kiwi pursuit team disqualified for a cockpit five or sux mm outside regulations. If they were beardos they would have had spacers. #slimthatstimbrah. ---

Because that day in Sydney when Jack Bobridge set the 4k record was one of the most humid ever measured.

Temperature inside was 28 degrees but not particularly humid by Brisbane standards. Was a great atmosphere. Interestingly when England were up against NZ, it seemed like everyone was barracking for our cuzzy bros. ---
