    The Chinese ladies kit is awesome. Who's their coach, unusual in the games to see a western coach on a Chinese team.

    Skinner had the same setup so it looks like a team decision. Their wheels were deeper sectioned than the 5 spokes and I presume Team GB has worked out they are marginally faster.

    Doesn't look like it. Wasn't in the team sprint and I didn't see him qualifying for the match sprint

    Contrast with the Dutch bikes which look as aero as a brick
