Saving themselves for the finals? Or a communication error leading to dropping a rider way before time?

GB defo heavy favourites, but yeah, you'd assume the aussies will get a lot closer than that

Chinese could get DQ'd same as the GB girls...

Edit: Confirmed they've been relegated, but soo close can't even see it on the replay...

This is becoming a bit of a farce. If the two clear best teams both get disqualified... wow.

Dont bet on it.

 

[RFUS]

Dont bet on it.

They did.

They still get silver though... we get [Poor language removed] all.

 

[RFUS]

Jammiest gold ever for the Germans then.

 

[Moomin]

Haha, Germans win by double default.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Well that blows. What a sham.

 

[RFUS]

Germany jump above us now in the tables.

This is ridiculous really. The Germans did well but I'm sorry, they shouldn't have been in the final. They definitely shouldn't have gold.
