Olympic Road Race Men

[Don't be late Pedro]

massive fail by UK and uran

Not really. GB did what they could. Aussies did nothing. And given the lack of results in the Tour for Greenedge you have to say they have really failed.

@Bridie_OD: every sexually active woman in the universe has faked better than Uran just did. You're a disgrace mate.

Uran - coward, rode for silver as soon as they had a gap
Spain - cowards, three guys in the break and they all sit on

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Best.
Olympic.
Road.
Race.
Ever.

Best race of the season

Perfect description

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

What the hell did Uran do at the end??

He lost. That's what he did.

 

[Parrot23]

Hmm, someone should check Vino's bank-account the following days.. Uran move a little too obvious for me

That was totally bizarre finish. Uran looked plain dumb.

 

[superconfex]

I'm pleased to say I was wrong.

well done for man ing up DW

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Great race, crap commentator (on BBC).

 

[Ripper]

Nah, this happens a lot: Pascal Rischard and Ullrich for example.

I have to admit this was a good race. 5 man teams make races exciting.

I agree. I think 5 man teams would make GTs much, much, much, more interesting. And likely would reduce crashes too.

Yep . This was good stuff.

Still think 6 man races should happen always

now lets hope its not a fracture for Fab
it did look bad though..

 

[Bala Verde]

Canc rolling in..

ITT gold is not in the cards anymore i think

He knows it's over. He is crying.

Sad for him. He was in the right break. everything looked great.

@Bridie_OD: every sexually active woman in the universe has faked better than Uran just did. You're a disgrace mate.

Yeah, does seem fake indeed. But who knows.... Uran is an idiot no matter what.

 

[ggusta]

cancellara looks happy

 

[dlwssonic]

How was it a massive fail from GB? What were they supposed to do when teams like the Germans failed to commit to the chase. GB did all they could, they just didnt get any help. If the Germans had worked they would be guaranteed a medal, they didnt and they got nothing.

GB came here to win, nothing less. Im sure they are disappointed.

 

[Cancellator]

Canc crying

 

[The Hitch]

I hope this get received with heroes welcome in Kazakhstan.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

In all fairness, that Uran "mistake" looked a bit...planned.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Cancellara crying

 

[CasperVg]

Also where was Australia in the peleton? They could've at least helped chasing a bit, the way they rode today was totally negative, even if Cav had the biggest chance to win if the break was reeled in. At least Germany tried. Also Belgium very dissappointing, Boonen should have went with Cancellara.

 

[gustienordic]

What was up with Uran? Seriously...

I'm happy with vino winning!

 

[Random Direction]

now, let's hope they get the right national anthem.

And yes, a national embarressment for Britain - love it when the arrogant get pushed down. Don't expect the same in the ITT (btw, who can finish 3rd there now? LLS?)

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

go away creep

 

[Knutsen]

Anyone hear the "Gracias!" from Vino to Uran when the shook hands after the finish?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Anyhow, the Cav course actually produced a great race; much more animated than the average World Champs.

Who would have thought?
A Kazakh, Columbian, Norwegian podium.
Very inoffensive.

Big red faces for GB, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Australia, Holland and even France.

Very sad scene with Cancellara.
Season done, I'd say.
