commo said the time is based off of the third rider, so the slowest/weakest must be the dropout

As with the individual pursuit, the objective is to cover the distance in the fastest time or to catch and overtake the other team in a final. Riders in a team follow each other closely in line, drafting to minimize total drag, and periodically the lead rider (who works the hardest) peels off the front, swings up the track banking and rejoins the team at the rear. The position of the third rider is pivotal because final times are measured as this team member's front wheel crosses the finishing line. Since the winning team is decided by the third rider, it is common for one rider to take a "death pull," where he or she rides so hard that they cannot maintain the group-pace afterwards. This allows their team-mates to briefly recover behind him before they make a final three-man acceleration towards the finish line.

 

Death pull ?

Medal table usually = countries economy x population 

russia were sabotaged 

so usa has no real competition 

china should finish ahead of GB

so that leaves Japan v GB v Germany on paper but GB leaving them for dead... Doing really well but should always come top 5/6
