If I was Denmark I would feel this same. I think the Denmark team believed they were catching the 4th man who didn't get out of the way and this caused the reaction. I don't think anyone expected Team GB to produce such a terrible performance.

Regardless. The Danish rider acted like an absolute tool.
GB were down to 3 long before and if he was 4th man he'd have been riding the tops.

About the bike: it was a joke.

To blame the bike is laughable, and frankly the reaction of the Danish to then verbally abuse Tanfield after is inexcusable.
About the Danish verbally abusing Tanfield: It was the heat of the moment, I find that excusable for what happened just after the crash, as long as he apologizes afterwards.
Doesn't matter anyway. Denmark are advanced to the final as they caught the third man.

As long as you are within a meter of the last rider you have won, he knew they won, just upset because they where going for wrsychen wrote:Danes acted like fools both with awareness, carrying on like a tool and not finishing the race.
I'm pretty sure the team GB 3rd got on and finished.. And Danes didn't..

If the team is split like the GB team, there is flag raised, that flag never came up, which is why they didn't know.
Guyc, sounds like you should try riding in the red with lactic acid everywhere and the taste off blood in your mouth, completely filled with adrenaline.

Excuse it if you want, makes no odds to me. Shows a lack of class.
Dear me. After Australia cock up the team sprint, GB then do exactly the same.
Dutch would have won anyway I think, but some of the track work today has been very very poor.

That was poor from both teams.. Aussie 3rd had alot of health problems in the last 2 years.. Including thyroid cancer.. GB 3rd retired then came back so both off the race circuit for a bit.. And it showed.guyc wrote:Dear me. After Australia cock up the team sprint, GB then do exactly the same.

The right result. GB benefited of the Austrailia equipment failure in qualifying. They were never in the run for a medal, it would have been sad if they affected the chances of Denmark.guyc wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 9:54 amWhatever.Attermann wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 9:51 amIf the team is split like the GB team, there is flag raised, that flag never came up, which is why they didn't know.

Maybe it’s a slight advantage for the first rider to drag a little more air along?
