- Team Sprint: France. One of the only teams that specializes in the event.
- Pursuit: Wiggins. Can anyone come close?
- Keirin: Hoy. He's unbeatable in the long sprints.
- Points Race: Greg Henderson. Kiwi power!
- Sprints: Bos. He's gotta be pissed about his poor results at the World Cup and will be out for redemption.
Scratch Race:- Madison: Wiggins/Cavendish. Without Tainter and I there to give them competition, this one's in the bag.
- Team Pursuit: Great Britian. Duh.
Women:
- Pursuit: Katie Mactier. Cuz I like her.
- Sprints: Pendleton. She's just so damn fast!
Keirin:- Points race: due to the Olympic qualification standards, this race will be full of pursuiters, so I have no clue.

I don't think there's a women's keirin or a men's scratch race at the Olympics....
Well that's just stupid.
Katie Mac!
Also, your pick for the scratch race now that the cyber cop showed up is rather hilarious...scratching out the "scratch race"...get it?!
So when is this happening?? Gotta watch that!!!
Schedule of events is here. Not sure about the TV schedule though.
BTW - Brits are winning the team sprint. Think they're not?
britbmxer did 3x 17.2 start laps in practice last week, supposedly... Hoy went sub-10 200m not too long ago as well. Also *supposedly*.
No way are the brits winning the madison. They pulled it off in the world champs by a thread taking a lap late in the race. If that had failed, they would have been back in the pack for sure. Also, I have heard that wiggins does 70% and cavendish 30%. Although the french in the team sprint sounds like a solid pick.
