No, this isn’t a track race so no accreditation needed.

👏👏👏
Hopefully no need for medic skills!!! Enjoy the racing :)

Yeah, to be fair. This is going to be one of the quietest ThunderCrits we've done competitor wise. There's a lot of short races on the Saturday to get used to racing Fixed Crits without worrying about getting dropped or lapped out. It's definitely a good one for beginners.

Would it be wrong to mention that he is Icelandic?

Nice one mate. It’s not that scary tbh, the Saturday circuit is good for spinny gears and just getting round. Short races designed to get the best bike handlers into the Advanced category for the Sunday race.

I totally forgot to post about this on here! Been one of those years...

Anyway. It's a couple of weeks until ThunderCrit returns and this time it's going to be across 2 days at Herne Hill. All of the important information is at https://thundercrit.com/

Entries are open (just £25 for entry to both days), all are welcome - have read about our new genderless categories here . It doesn't matter if you are an experienced rider or not, there's a space for you on the start line.

We've got our largest ever prize fund and you don't even need to be able to win a race to win some of the main prizes. Prize breakdown here

We're looking for volunteers and spectating is free as always, but I'm waiting on confirmation of any restrictions we might need to put in place according to what happens over the next few days.

The first day of racing will be on the "Tech" circuit, which is short and tight and will be lots of 5 lap races with plenty of action. The racing should start from 3pm and go through to 8/9pm at the latest.

The second day will be on the "Power" circuit, which makes use of the velodrome banking and as much tarmac as possible to create a fast multi lap race to crown the ThunderCrit champions. These races start from midday on the Sunday.

Feel bad for Saka. Why put all that pressure on such a young player. Hopefully he comes through it.

Well done Italy. Second half was all them and they showed the experience and composure needed.

Right. Hopeful prediction. 4-3 England.

I feel sick.

No penalties please. I’ve been worryingly accurate with peno predictions this tournament. I couldn’t handle the pressure of another prediction

Just an update. 3 pairs listed still available. I'm waiting on images for a 4th pair then that's all of them listed or sold.

If you need postage on any of them I'll hunt down boxes and get them sent out with a courier. Open to sensible offers (like free postage). I'd like them all gone and being used again rather than gathering dust.

I think people are/were taking Denmark way too lightly. they're ranked 10th in the world. 2 places higher than Germany. England also got a result (although not quite as emphatically) against 14th ranked Croatia and smashed 4 goals past Ukraine who are ranked 24th and will probably climb up the ranking after their tournament results.

Italy are currently 7th and unbeaten in 33 games, but England are 4th and with a win could climb to 2nd behind Brazil after the Copa and Euros are over and the ranking recalculated.

An old colleague of mine from Italy has been telling me all tournament that England have the strongest squad and that their age means that they might dominate for years to come. I told him to stop winding me up. He definitely would've preferred to be playing Denmark in the final as England's style and adaptability is harder to plan against.

I'm quite optimistic that Italy won't be as tough as people are making it out in here. Sure they've bagged a few good goals from Chiesa and Insigne, but Spinazzola was one of their best players of the tournament and he's out. Their defence is slow and their 2nd/3rd choice wing backs are ineffective. England have looked solid defensively and have only conceded a worldie of a free kick ((Pickford perhaps could've done a bit better), so we shouldn't think that Italy are going to magically open up our defence and score a lot.

0-0. I won't be predicting penalties until ET is over, all my penalty predictions have been weirdly accurate so far...

I've never known a yentzing season like this.

Means you can power through and watch the banger that is Brazil v Argentina in the Copa America final

Never thought I’d see England in a major final in my life time TBH

Fuck!

I thought Trippier was gonna come on for Walker or Sterling. Very weird decision, but hope it doesn’t fuck up

Worst. Night. Ever.

I don’t want to go down that google wormhole

Like this?

I don’t need to, they can do all the work for me 🥲

I’m the Mystic Meg of penalty shootouts 💅

Italy to win 4-2 on pens.

Chiellini winning at being a captain

Rik Moranis is part of the Italian coaching staff?
