Australians loved the cheap stuff from China

Surprisingly slow by GB

Fastest ever by a GB team

Surprised there giving us another run tbh aren’t we responsible for our own bikes?

 

[The King!]

few splinters and a sore shower to come

 

[Beejay Crow]

I'm on the 7+ feed and there was no mention of another ride. Are they allowed a second chance?

They can go again, after the Women's Team Sprint final, according to BBC Sport.

They just said the same on 7+. They had previously said the Aussies were pulling out. Going to take a miracle to beat GB, that guy got shit mixed and I can't see how he can ride at 100%.

[Eagle Wrath]

[Rankine2Rachele]

Let’s go.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

Porters face looks painful. Burns on his chin, nose and arms

 

[The King!]

how ****en much do u trust the bike

 

[Rankine2Rachele]

He’s going to be in so much pain later tonight. Kudos for getting back on the bike, though.

 

[danielnajdek]

They are struggling which isn't a surprise considering what happened.

 

[Rankine2Rachele]

5th fastest.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

5th ranked unfortunately. Good effort considering though.

 

[The King!]

gutsy to ride

 

[Rankine2Rachele]

That left knee of Porter’s.

 

[Royces Hart]

His shower is gonna be a bitch

 

[dogs105]

Just outside the Australian Record. Gutsy stuff!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Bad luck boys. Got back on the track and finished 5th. They were a decent chance to get into the gold medal race and get silver, wouldn't have beaten the Danes, but now are still a chance for bronze.

Alex Porter joins Patrick Tiernan at this games for going above and beyond the call of normal athletic duty.

 

[Donakebab]

The fact they still qualified 5th fastest is huge. If they can pull off a bronze it will be an immense effort.

 

[Fitzey]

Amazing effort to finish 5th from that
