hfer07 said:If this parcours going to be used in the road race as well? If is going to so it looks hard indeed...
Moose McKnuckles said:Shocking, I tell you, that Velits was unable to replicate his special ride in the Vuelta. Absolutely "shocking".
Ferminal said:The first hill is different, same elevation but tougher gradient.
Rogers is up on 25s.
The top3 after this group has completed will probably be:
Rogers
Sanchez +30s
Konovalovas or Bodnar +45
Ferminal said:I cannot believe it... This guy beat Cancellara he was the gold medal favourite, he must have had a mechanical.
I think this result shows he went "all in" at the Vuelta.

You are fairly negative, you told us bodnar would be lucky to get top 15 when he is 1st with 12 riders to finish.
*EDIT*
Rogers lost a second to both sanchez and bodnar in that 8km period, looks like he is fading and won't medal oh well.
