I don't know why, but it's exactly what they wanted - basing that on the instructions the coach was giving the riders, rather than what the commentators were saying. He never showed them a red board, and I only saw number between -0.2 and ±0.

Of course, there's a good chance that that's sticking with the plan despite having been punched in the face by NZ.
But equally may be that they know exactly how fast they can go, when required to go again; and that trying to beat that time would hamstring them later.

be interesting to see if they can beat the US and then get 2s on nz

so close and unlucky it seems on many occasions - showing at least they were in the mix.
strangely mirroring Fra atm, but agree, Oz had a fantastic day yesterday across varied events; real hunger and emotion shown.
