Olympic Road Race Men

[JibberJim]

Those GB bikes seem to have no decals or branding at all

They have no interest in selling them - the quote for the helmets is 3000 GBP each, how much do you think they'd charge you for a bike?

Looks like the race is gonna be Wiggins chasing down the break doing most of the work for the Brits, unless they get (buy) some other allies ... lol.

 

[AtletiSK]

ok, Box Hill is a joke but the race is as hard as the riders make it... and UK rivals have to start riding it hard sooner rather than later if they want to get rid of Cav... so far its little bit weird tactics by others, lets hope it changes

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Vino looks sharp... and bluey/orangey

Ah, those old US postal bikes finally found owners.

What the hell is Rogers trying to do? Was he expecting that someone would have joined him? A german perhaps since they aren't represented in the early break?

 

[l.Harm]

I think I got it. Rogers is chasing now, and that's why O'Grady can't ride at the front. He encouraged everyone in the breakaway to ride. Now he isn't, so that could cause some trouble there.

Think radios won't matter much as they get info along the course.

Point of the radio is not to not give them this info about time differences, they will be known regardless, it's about the rider himself having to decide in a split second what to do when someone else attacks or something else of note happens. It's those vital decisions that have to be made with heart rate 170 within a few seconds that make cycling more than just riding on a straight road. But I guess it's bad for safety

Not a great advert for Dogma's when your two big team riders chose something else when they have the choice

 

[insideout leadout]

Rogers is pacing the bunch, but he can't be infront of his Sky teammates because it would look weird. Now it just look stupid.

 

[Cancellator]

I can't understand why Eurosport 2 is showing reruns of car racing instead of some live Olympic events?
