Forty kilometres out of Paris on the RER to the sweltering velodrome. It’s like getting a train into suburban Surrey only with better trains, prettier lamp-posts and tastier boulangeries. A disaster for Britain’s Kadeena Cox, who falls off her bike at the first bend in the final of the C4-5 500m time trial – the heady atmosphere punctured immediately as the capacity crowd struggle to process what has happened. It’s heartbreaking to watch her weeping inconsolably in a heap on the floor. Chat to one of the relatives of the British team who tells me that at most cycling meets, even world championships, not many people turn up other than family, which is a real shame. The velodrome has a great buzz and is a peculiar mixture of high technology and tradition, such as the men who stand at the start with a little red flag like Phyllis and Bobbie with their flannel petticoats in the Railway Children.
