Track Day 4

London 2012, Velodrome

Race Writeup

1/8th Final

Vicki Pendleton (GBR), Anna Meares (AUS), Shuang Guo (CHN), Kristina Vogel (GR), Simona Krupeckaite (LTU) an Cuba Lisandra Guerra Rodriguez  won their way relatively easily into the quarterfinals. Taking 6 of the 8 places on offer they have 24 hours to relax before having to race again. 

Not so lucky are the riders that have to fight their way through via the repechage round. With only 30 minutes rest the six losers had to be back on the track again. The top two who qualify will have ridden five times in one day, in comparison to the top riders who only needed  rides.

In the second heat, Moniqiue Sullivan (CAN) and Natasha Hansen (NZL) tried but Panarina was too strong.
