Another world title today. Olympic and world championship gold medals by the bucketload. How much longer until she's Dame Laura?

    Only 23 years old so loads of time for her yet for more medals and records.

    Gonna be even better than Pendleton!!

    Hope that Mark Cavendish gets picked for Rio, didnt do great in the Omnium but British Cycling owes him after letting him down in recent years.

    - Beijing Madison
    - London 2012
    - Team Sky when he was a water carrier most non-Sprint days yet ignored during the Sprint days.

    People say that Wiggins and Froome have helped cycling in the country with their success in the Tour but that all came about after Cav won the Green Jersey

    Yes but would have to put a cork or something else sounding like that in her mouth as voice is annoying

    What an excellent Madison that was from Brad and Cav, we were down in 5th with 30 laps to go, next 20 are spent doing a breakaway with the Spanish (Belgians refused to help)... the result... Gold for GB, Bronze for the Spanish and nothing for the TinTins!!!

    It was stunning, get the sprint points early on then catch up the lap ...very impressive teamwork ...and good for Spain helping us along.

    Her boyfriend was pretty shocked when it came out she was 'seeing' Jason Kenny during 2012 olympics.

    Laura is consistently good, in both road and track disciplines. She's small in comparison to some other riders, but has a fantastic power to weight ratio.
    Re. Wiggo and Cav - that Madison was fantastic. Such a shame that it's not an Olympic event.
    Enjoyed watching Bradley ride at Herne Hill Velodrome in the past. Saw Cavendish win a Time Trial in Crystal Palace Park many years ago.

    She can become Britain's most succesful female Olympian in Rio. Not bad for 23 years old.

    I bet that put the brakes on their relationship.

    And we're off......

    I crashed and burned last time trying to do these sort of jokes. Still, time to get back in the saddle.

    Good man. It really grinds my gears when people just give up.

    I'm pretty tyred of all these puns and starting to get a bit cranky. It will be an uphill struggle to get this thread back on track. Shame, it could have been a classic.

    No fear, but you realise you've started a chain reaction to handle bar none :wink: .

    Didn't see today's event but the gold she won in the scratch race on Friday was brilliant. I know diddly squat about cycling but she was looking completely out of it with about 5 laps to go and did all the work herself to come through on the line. Perfectly timed and we are very lucky to have such a depth of talent available in both our cycling teams going into an Olympic year.

    Never mind Laura Trott. She's great, but Lizzie Armitstead is even better. Current world champion, and has won both the women's world cup races so far this year. On the road, which is much more of a lottery than the track.

    Is that a serious question? She is so fit that I feel dirty just looking at a picture of her

    I think the question is not "Would ya?", but "Would ya stand a chance?", and for all the saddos on here who can't talk about women without reducing them to objects of lust, the answer is obviously "No". Not with Laura Trott, not with Lizzie Armistead, not with any woman with any self-respect. Their best hope is probably onanism. Look on the bright side - at least you'd be having sex with someone you love.

    So is that a really long way of saying you would then?
