Olympic Road Race Men

[Bala Verde]

Forget that, 50 seconds, 37km to go.

The train right on schedule. [sjedule not skedule]

Great public transportation in London Good they are not on strike

 

[maxmartin]

LMAF, is SKY paving the way to make EBH next Froom?

Froom:bug problem
EBH: Eating disorder

TREVIM:He would have to improve less than Froome did climbing and TT wise

True true

 

[taiwan]

Don't understand where this lead group came from.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Essentially, we have an echelon race without the wind.
Germany have to join the chase.

 

[Random Direction]

in most professions, professionals separate work and personal quite well. Theoretically (though not practically), the Olympics are the latter.

 

[Arnout]

35km gap grows to a min.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The front group is gaining time

 

[Libertine Seguros]

No but sometimes the intricate politics, deals, scams and double crossings are what makes this sport so interesting. (just not today)

Typically though, they are something that augment the interest in the racing, not replace it.

When the most interesting thing about a race is the off-bike deals, then it has failed action-wise.

TSN just described Bernhard Eisel as Australian.

 

[dlwssonic]

Cancellara in the leading group!
Eisel is seriously crap.

 

[insideout leadout]

58 seconds.

 

[taiwan]

Grabsch with the 60x11 gear.

 

[Cancellator]

Hahaha genius commentary: Cav is only comfortable behind Eisel's bottom.

 

[MrRoboto]

Even the producers finding Eisel's choice curious.

 

[Bala Verde]

The Germans are also banking on a sprint, so even if Eisel and others don't help out team GB, the Germans would probably add some people to the chase?

 

[sankaa]

I must really say i hate Eisel right now. If he drags Cav to the finish line, im quitting watching cycling.

 

[trevim]

Grabsch with the 60x11 gear.

At least Now seriously, does he have iron knees?

 

[dlwssonic]

OMG the arab commentary is awful

[Bavarianrider]

Eisel is a ****ing traitor to his country.

 

[insideout leadout]

Sky cannot fail....I am so confused.

 

[Cancellator]

Wait how did Cance go unnoticed by everyone?! I hope he's saving himself for another attack later on, cause this break is doomed.

 

[dlwssonic]

Eisel has changed nationality?

 

[goggalor]

~20 vs. 4. 1 minute handicap for the 4, who've also been riding all day.

 

[l.Harm]

Plzzzzz no bunch sprint

Yeah, they should have gotten closer to the coast area... Usually, there's plenty of wind in the UK.
