OK, we lost, but as the boys said at least it wasn't to the aussies..
So what do you get if you take a gold medal winning team, split it in
half and add a couple of other top riders in to the mix? The best
showdown of the games so far.
Each time they pass the start line there is a fraction of a fraction of
a second in it. nip and tuck and no clear leader at all, not even a
hint of a winner.
Watching the finish lines the first question was 'who won' - visually
it was impossible to tell, and then the times flashed up. 0.025s
between the two, or about the width of a wheel at 40mph.
And Scotland end up Commonwealth Team Sprint champions.
This must surely bode well for the world championships in a few weeks
time. The hardest decision is who should ride.
