Geelong 2010: Elite Men's Road Race 262.7km

[stefrees]

Not quite sure what to do tonight, am staying in a caravan in deepest darkest wales but with only faint signal on my iPad and no tv reception, is it worth waking up to get slowly loading live text? Probably will mind......



Come on cav

Anyone know where on the bbc site I can watch it? Can't seem to find it.

 

[toontoon]

I was just looking myself, on the grey bar at the bottom of the multiscreen menu they are saying that it will start at 11.40 not 10.40 as the website states.

I think the bbc website cocked up by not realising that the aussies changed their clocks by an hour last night and so have everything an hour out.

So I've another hour to wait?

yes.............

 

[The Cube]

Could have had another hour in bed....

If the BBC coverage really does start at 11.40 pm, I reckon it will be picture only for about 19 minutes.

And I really hope we don't get another three hour track discussion like last year.

 

[toontoon]

Are we likely to see hard racing between Melbourne and the start of the circuits in Geelong? Apparently it is very a very flat segment.

Nothing will happen there.

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

Sorry to ask what might be a silly question but when was the last time that a world championship wasn't entirely run on a circuit like todays will be with its 100k before they get to geelong? I've been following cycling since the late 80's and this is the first time i can remember this happening although i've probably missed an obvious example..

It's Hugh Porter commentating, so a three hour track discussion is guaranteed.

Morning all. Having an insomniac night so might as well watch from the start wth you all.

This is one of the few times a hill looks worse on a profile than it is in reality.

 

[icefire]

Like with Spaniards then.

Nope. Like Portuguese.

 

[Polyarmour]

Just saw Cav interviewed. He believes Goss will be the one to watch and he very generously wished him good luck.

 

[toontoon]

Just had a look at the bookies, some very interesting odds:

Gilbert, Philippe 3/1
Freire, Oscar 13/2
Cancellara, Fabian 8/1
Hushovd, Thor 12/1
Cavendish, Mark 14/1
Pozzato, Filippo 14/1
Goss, Matthew 16/1
Farrar, Tyler 16/1
Hagen, Edvald Boasson 22/1
Kolobnev, Alexander 22/1
Sagan, Peter 25/1
Evans, Cadel 28/1
Breschel, Matti 28/1
Visconti, Giovanni 33/1
Sanchez, Luis Leon 33/1
Davis, Alan 33/1
Roche, Nicolas 40/1
Bole, Grega 40/1
Schleck, Frank 40/1
Greipel, Andre 40/1
Sanchez, Samuel 40/1
Velits, Peter 50/1
Paolini, Luca 50/1

£10 on Cav me thinks.

There's some pheckin black geezer strumpin his stuff on interactive.

No cycling.

I'm tempted to go chance my luck in bed with the wife!

 

[toontoon]

They've opened the feed up, clearly waiting on host tv coverage.

 

[Izzy eviel]

Ta.

David Millar 200/1 Knew I shoulda placed a bet!

Anyone watching on the bbc website yet? Still can't find it!!

 

[The Hitch]

Any UK resident have bbc coverage yet?

 

[Curls_21]

Was looking for the website coverage myself - the BeeB really have screwed this one up so far.

Edit - Just found it thanks to Steephills - no feed yet just a picture.

BBC website now shows the "coming up" card. RTBF says feed starts at midnight (UK time).
