I arrived in Copenhagen yesterday afternoon along with the rest of Team GB. The airports only 10mins or so away from the hotel so the journey there was short and sweet. We checked in, unpacked, built the bikes and rode straight down to the track, which is about 5-10mins ride away.
The track looked really good. Last yr it looked ok too but this yr they've soiled tacked it all and it's super hard with no soft spots. They've moved the starthill back 10m's or so to make room for a couple of rollers between the 1st 2 jumps. First time it's been tried so time will tell if it's a good idea.
We've just got back from practice and the track rode really well. The wind was a strong head wind down the 1st straight so the triple into turn 1 can wait until tomorrow's session. The 3rd straight, even with the wind was really good and the 2nd straight was sooo fast with a tail wind the jumps could've easily been 10ft longer.
I felt real good on the track and my gates seemed good so i'm happy with how it went. I'm looking forward to practice in the morning and then TT's later on in the day.
Check back for TT update tomorrow
