And the next two rides I hope you’re staying with us and we are interpreting what’s going on for you at Camp lacrosse Matt Carly McCulloch if you’d like to ask us anything this evening this is Filippo gana back on the bike 32 seconds and filth this race is
Underway so just a recap for you after trying to calculate where the gun went off we’ve stopped that so now we are going back to a full start of at this 4,000 meters pursuit between Jordan Kirby of Australia Filippo Jana of Italy so they’re underway now let’s
Hope that that they get this full performance out they will have to just focus and get themselves into this performance now so these two riders Filippo Gannet 414 647 in the qualification 412 172 for Jordan Kirby I would say Filippo gana is a more experienced rider and so may well I
Don’t know it comes down to be saying earlier on and that you do go through this sort of thing mentally but Nana will maybe deal with this with experience compared to Kirby elastics which on what you think so yes certainly experiences you can’t you know can’t get away with the experience
That you that you earn and he has the experience he eastland reigning world champion so he knows what pressure feels like and now certainly is pressure on in the moment well here to lippo ganado an incredible time trial is right for the UAE team emirate not rockin and rollin
Too much with Jordan has gone out already and looking quick on the track and lovely style of all talking about earlier he goes through the thousand meters in 173 three two which is faster than he did in the ride earlier on today well that’s fantastic and he’s obviously
Maybe not hurting as much as I probably would be if I had to restart an individual pursuit so it’s fantastic to see that he’s arm stuck to his game plan here and he’s going out there to try and win over well here we go then this is
All about the rainbow jersey which rider is going to be the world champion aleppo gana is the defending champion he went through one eight eight eight three Kirby in one seven three three two and has no question that he can write this quick for the entire 4,000 meters he is just a slender
Point 1:06 inside the time that he rode earlier that he’s really consistent certainly isn’t this is the trade of these individual pursuit in but if they can provide at set paces so it is what they do did is what they know and it’s what makes the event so exciting the
Coach is very important on the inside of the track is me because he shows the times or a little bit of flips for the riders and see exactly how they’re doing exactly and sometimes they actually ride against the other rider so they’ll actually has a split of the other riders
Or just depends on what your strategies I feel like daughters outs out there Riley don’t worry tonight but I think even even thinking about gunner and I reckon Gavin probably racing against Jordan so everyone has different techniques even with these individual time trial for that telltale sign of
Throwing himself back in the saddle is gone now and for Kirby you just take a look at him he is a little bit full vert pressure right now let’s see whether we can continue is right on the front of the saddle but right now he is well
Ahead as we go through the 3,000 meter points slowly now two point three five seven is the gap between Kirby and Danna and that Kirby looks to be under some pressure now but he is still confusing on this track through 3,000 meters in 3:13 one five two is not going to be a
World record but it’s now he’s just going to hold on to win this gold medal that gana is known for having a very fast final kilometer I’m a bit worried for Kirby now that gana is going to pick this one up and he really has to get
Close to his back wheel now and bling on this gold medal this is where the rain starts to hurt so this is where it’s won and lost so it’s commencing to me again I can’t pull back the time and Kody and his leading further three and a half seconds now
This young rider from Australia heading towards this gold medal and world title he’s absolutely flat out gamma 3.8 second round one lack of broken to go and it looks like this young Australian who set the board the light earlier on today almost setting a world record is
Going to be standing in the rainbow Barnes what an impressive ride by Jordan Kirby he comes round the final turn and Australia have an individual pursuit world champion absolutely fantastic result adjudicated on earth at his family friends are always really happy we’re coming through and they were very
Hard on our tail anyway he lightly the world is absolutely fantastic woman what a product well to come back along those both both allowed to come back some was done going on so I’m not what an interesting race is that restart I’ve never seen anything like that before me either
Certainly haven’t I’ve not heard the gun go off in the middle of a race for no reason and then to think about restarting it relapsing would have been interesting yes any wonder that would have been yes it would have been history for all sorts of really Jordan Kirby
Though one of the younger riders in this squad who’s come in to take a world title and I think Australia now are going to be the top of the medal standings yeah I think we’re doing quite well at the moment and another thing to mention is that Jordans not even a part
Of the team to shoot scored so this is the sort of depth so we’ve got in the show at the moment so that’s also really exciting and I been needed to see his Jordans aside so maybe wanted to try and step into the scenes to shoot for what
Somebody can ride nearly a world record of the in the four kilometers and then throwing in the tenth digit we go down and see on the second person area absolutely very special indeed [Applause] his family are here so he’s greeted by them this what a lot of Australian fans
Have traveled here yeah it’s not a big trip for us um normally we have to do the two big slides over to Europe or the bond flight over to America so they only had the one flight ten hours straight from Sydney to the Hong Kong is
Fantastic and also the same time zone as well so it’s been quite a nice trip for us because we haven’t had to deal with the normal jet lag that we have to your on exactly the same time though it’s about an hour and a half difference
There about an hour and a half ahead it’s like obesity so you’ve not have to deal with what we have to do exactly so now you know it feels like this is a nice moment here can virmire in the world championship Jersey to greet another world champion who will be
Wearing a similar Jersey in a moment exactly fantastic as I said the camaraderie between these boys in the team is absolutely fantastic they’re all generally happy for each other and OGC now and better give me the flag what a nice moment that’s right warmer that is a lovely moment Jordan Kirby of
Australia is now the world champion of the in
