I can’t name 2 because there aren’t 2 But that doesn’t make it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed It would be interesting to find another sport, at world level, as a pairs event, and see what rules they have in place there. Its not comparable because our set of circumstances isn’t seen elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Injuries have robbed us of our best two riders but even taken that into consideration this is a pathetic performance from Team GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Pairs racing can be pretty rubbish can't it? The SWC had four riders all racing for every point.. This format however has riders not racing each other if they are consolidating a position, be it a 5-1 or a 3-3, and even if on a 1-5 the last place rider will be loathe to put their own partner under pressure.. Not a patch on the SWC for racing is it? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least we gave it a go and I’m resting assured that with tai leading, we wouldn’t fail I doubt it would make much difference tbh. I think the answer lies in the strength of the domestic leagues. It's no coincidence that Poland, Sweden, Denmark and Germany have better/stronger leagues than GB, which is where riders really learn their trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
