Olympic Road Race Men

And Taylor Phinney beats his father with 1 spot. 28 years later that is.

 

[TourOfTexas]

If I was Greipel I would be livid, especially given his head to head record against Cav this year.

So he should be livid that they didn't guarantee him silver?

Great news on a sad day:

Cancellara has not broken anything. Will decide on participating in ITT coming days.

Coming days? That will be two days to decide.

That's really good news, I was so sorry to seeing him crash when in very good position

That is good. I'm hoping he's up to not only riding the TT but doing a good ride.

Just watched an interview with Gesink on the NOS

Apparently we totally missed a counter-attack by Gilbert and Boom that came within 100m of the front duo. Another fail by the olympic broadcast

edit: LOL calling a cycling legend like Vinokourov a nobody?

 

[The Hitch]

Its funny that if you think about it, probably not 1 of the eventual podium would have even made the team for a lot of the nations today. Certainly not Britain, Belgium Canada, probably not Spain, Italy Australia.

 

[MonteZoncolan]

Hey all,
Just wondering does anyone know what caused the Cancelara crash?
Also what happened to Sagan in the race?

I turned off watching early as I couldn't put up with the poor commentary/lack of gap times/progress etc. it was like watching a sportive. not that sportives are bad, they are not! but you know what I mean. They showed the guys taking p!ss breaks. jeez.

 

[The Hitch]

LOL

Lol. Tell me that is for real.

 

[Richeypen]

LOL

The Mail have a reputation to hold up as the worlds most pathetic excuse for a newspaper.

 

[hfer07]

Rigos success is still being treated brilliantly in Colombia though.

And whats more, what we saw here is no accident. For someone like Uran to contest the win and get a silver medal on a course like this, I don't think even Ryo saw that coming.

indeed- Rigo is being praised in all corners of my country as a hero-and honestly- he's outdone all "realistic" expectations for the Colombian team. overall I'm extremely happy for him & hoping SKY will take good care of him, because he's a star in the making.

LOL indeed, The Fail on Sunday fails in epic style.

bbc analysis on this is comical. Mcenroe finds it weird that a breakaway was allowed 6 minutes while the woman presenter says everyone raced against Cav.

For Holland all 3 would have made it

Just watching BBC which now has John McEnroe having a go at GB for not chasing all the breaks down straight away

Really cringeworthy TV... The cycling coverage on the beeb has been embarrasing.

John McEnroe talking about cycling? Media in England is not good one would assume
