Looks to me like the convict was trying to dig the elbow into Pendleton. Cheating twunt.

Yeah the yank bird had a few digs at Trott yesterday as well, seems to be fairly accepted as part of the sport.

So Pendleton has been relegated while the convict gets away with elbowing. Fix!

[cdbearsfan]

Bugger Pendleton relegated so it's one-nil to the convict.

[luke25]

And they penalise Pendleton for it, wtf.

[Monty]

Relegated. Always the danger when you ride like she does. She has to win twice in a row now.

[cdbearsfan]

Ah well, 2-1 will be more exciting than 2-0. Fingers crossed...

[paul_e]

Wasn't for elbows, she crossed the red line, fair cop on the replay.

[PeterWithesShin]

Shit.

[cdbearsfan]

Arse. The Aussie wins.

[Risso]

Fucking rubbish Pendleton.

[Monty]

Should be 1-1.

[PeterWithesShin]

Wasn't for elbows, she crossed the red line, fair cop on the replay.

But did the convicts elbow attempts cause her to cross the line?

[Somniloquism]

Pendleton should have opened the gap then when Mears stopped. Oh well, think the first was harsh but I think it knocked her then.

Well all the (slightly biased) experts reckon that seemed to happen and is a natural thing to lean back into the competitor when bumped. I wonder if it was a ploy in the first place.

Come on S'Chris.
