Olympic Road Race (men’s) 2024 (August 3rd)

[Netserk]

So they have come to an agreement. Bjerg, Benoot and Hoole pull.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Denmark deciding to burn Bjerg for absolutely no reason. A rider who top-6ed in Flanders! Whats Mørkøv doing exactly in this race?

He was even fourth (but I guess that qualifies as top 6).

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ed Doghmy having the most chaotic race of his life at the front with his nervousness and mechanicals.

Halallaphilippe.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I thought he was 6th. I was even there

Waiting to be a lead out for Mads?

Charles Kagimu looking stylish on the bike. An unknown rider for many, but not for Van Vleuten.

Has anyone found a live tracker that has interactive map?

So it was more important for Peter ' to go in opening ceremony with flag ' than try to win RR

He's retired, you know.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

He's retired, you know.

you dont say !!!

He was talking about the past ..

 

[Potomac]

As beautiful as France is, I've seen a lot of it watching cycling.
Part of the fun watching the road race three year ago was seeing the Japanese countryside and villages, etc.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Eurosport have decided watching a static camera of the harbour in Marseille for the next 15mins is going to be more exciting than this race

and the Beeb are watching hockey.

Eurosport ("The Home of Cycling") has 9 channels on with live Olympics sport but none of them are currently showing the road race

 

[Danskebjerge]

UK doing zero.

 

[Rob5091]

So who jumps first, Remco or WvA? My money's on Remco.

Eurosport 1 does.

 

[Potomac]

OK gang, what is the over/under for how many KM left when the peloton catches the break?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Discovery+ switched to some sailing event, this is more our sport, absolutely flying out there, it seems all that practice on the waves when we were out err.. liberating.. didn't go to waste.

I think that makes sense.

 

[Rob5091]

Eurosport have it, i'm watching.

 

[Netserk]

85 km to go.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Eurosport 1 does.

My Eurosport 1 is currently showing Dressage

 

[Mayomaniac]

I remember Kagimu from winning the African Championship and the continental one (both times the ITT), his engine isn't bad.
Wouldn't be a bad rider for one of the Asian CT teams with a decent budget, like many of the Eritrean riders.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Also, Viviani already being more of a factor than I would have predicted, I have to admit that one...

Burgos BH could also be a good option. They like to sign riders who can farm UCI points in continental championships.
