    That race is very tricky because if you see someone gather 30 or 40 points you're not going to be very competitive picking up ones.

    RE: Reflections on GB performance ... feels a decent medal haul to me and much to be pleased with, but can see why a few are disappointed as it's mainly unknown names that have delivered and some much hyped have missed out to varying degrees.

    Morocco and Egypt so far in Paris 2024 have one medal each. Morocco has a gold and Egypt have one bronze.

    So, if they could win this game and get this medal, it will be a very big deal in their respective countries.

    You're thinking 'conserve energy, get through safely'. You don't want to absolutely smash it at the front and waste a lot of effort but it can be sketchy in there.

    As we saw in the other heat, a little flick of the wheels, a little mistake and you could be sliding along the deck and regretting your choices.
