Looks like there will be a YouTube live stream starting at 18:00 UK time for each of the three nights, so that's not too bad if you have an PC with an HDMI link to your TV (like I do.)

Just to whet everyone's appetite, here's the first day's programme

http://www.ectrackcycling.com/index.php?page=day-1-en

First up - women's team pursuit, which should be a must watch.

Looks like the programme in general is quite compressed, they only seem to be doing the Olympic races, not all the events like the 1k time trial or individual pursuits that we get at the World Champs.

Excellent. The blinking official website seems to be down, so I hadn't been able to find any results from this morning's qualifiers.

Noticed that as well .I spent ages trying to get the results and only got that as someone had updated the Wiki page for the World Records.

I guess either Archibald or Barker goes out and Dani King comes into to team for the final .

GBR v RUS in the men's Team pursuit final

stream just started, a wee bit to late to see another gold for GBR in the men's team pursuit.

To add to the overall chaos, literally the only results from qualifying this morning that are on the web are photographs of a bit of paper posted to twitter. Unfortunately it seems GBR only qualified 4th for the men's team sprint this morning, so GER v RUS for gold, GBR v FRA for bronze.
