Olympic Road Race Men

The some Romanian rider on the TV, awesome

 

[webbie146]

Froome takes the lead

I say this again, an attack right after the break is caught might just be the winning move.

Kiryenka asking Wiggins how much to ride

 

[diorgen]

this is pretty cool to watch with no graphics, commercials or announcers

Gives you a sense of pure sport, doesn't it?

Although the forum complements this really well.

 

[greenedge better then some]

odd they would stu O up the road the old man can ride 200km solo an shoul be fresh from the tour

 

[JibberJim]

So typical olympics, a load of no-hopers on a long pointless break for the first half...

 

[diorgen]

what could this be?

It's a list of riders in the break from the commissaire.

Not quite pointless if it means your teammates in the peloton don't have to work, for example.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

That break is a damn good TTT squad...

 

[webbie146]

It's harder then normal to recognize riders whiteout there usual kits

Pinotti, Menchov, LL Sanchez (eta: no, not him, sorry ), O'Grady, Westra, Brajkovic, etc. - not exactly no-names. It's a far stronger group than I would have expected, clearly they must think it's their best shot at getting a medal.

Who else would you expect in such a group - Boonen, Greipel?

 

[insideout leadout]

There are plenty of strong TTers in that break:

Pinotti
Brajkovic
Westra
Menchov
Castroviejo

+ strong men as Roelandts and O'Grady

Wiggo, Froome, Millar and Stannard will all be too tired to help Cav in the end.

I wasn't being serious - Where are the really pointless non pro tour riders getting their moment in the sun - this is a genuine break...

 

[Mishrak]

I'm disappointed that there's no decent broadcast for this. :| The BBC one looked good but now they're showing gymnastics. Forget the US Broadcast. Do I really need to have cable to watch the whole thing? Steephill is failing me!

Yeah in beijing it was some random south americans in the break with like a 30 min lead? if i recall

 

[spalco]

Did Evans have some problem, or just a talk with his car?

 

[webbie146]

Evans finally after all got his yellow jersey

 

[JibberJim]

Germans have a man up helping GB already - but I think they'll need it.

You can watch the feed from steephill if you don't mind the flemish commentary

 

[Mellow Velo]

How long before we see Eisel, Uran, Henao Rogers and EBH on the front?

Well Kiryenka has obviously already been offered his Sky contract for next year, who else is rumoured to be on their way?

OR the one posted earlier from eurovision sport if you don't mind having no commentary
