Olympic Road Race Men

[Armchair Cyclist]

When they designed the writing in the side panel on the Slovenian jersey, were they expecting lots of TV shots of the riders lying on their backs?



Will Rabo/Euskatel be following that example on next year's kits?

My vote for smaller team sizes at all races. Much better racing.

 

[insideout leadout]

Sagan getting help from another nation? Getting bottles for himself will not reward him any medal.

 

[JibberJim]

Is this mess a BBC broadcast??

No Video and graphics controlled by OBS - Olympic Broadcast Services....

The BBC comm's is awful though.

Welcome and nice of you to join us, mate.

II Grillo should have included Moser.

Vino & Albasini?

No: Rast & Grivko: That blue looked pale enough to be Kazakh

 

[Netserk]

Is that Vino and Canc?

EDIT: It is Rast & Grivko

 

[insideout leadout]

Grivko and Elmiger.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Your not very good with banter are you.

Not when it's getting repetitive and outdated. No.

 

[meat puppet]

[Vino attacks everyone]

Vino & Albasini?

Hideous commentary. Can you imagine what new to cycling viewers are making of this hodgh-podgh of a travesty.

 

[insideout leadout]

Gilbert + Nibali on the move again.

Still a billion times better than P&P

 

[Bala Verde]

The German British Allianz motoring the peloton.

 

[Cancellator]

It's really hard to get a clue of what's happening. People who are not cycling fans must have no idea what the riders are doing or why... At least I hope the BBC commentary is decent... (Not watching from the UK right now).

Mart Smeets is really really horrible lol.

First he says Boom when Gesink attacked. Now he recognizes Boom as Terpstra. Seriously. He knows 0.00 faces

 

[cocteau_ireland]

nibs only got, what, about 20 seconds?

This must be some of the worst commentary I've ever heard.

 

[Finn84]

3.26 to the chase group
3.51 to the peloton

 

[burning]

We should have 5 riders each in every other race as well, 6 guys for grand tours should be much better as there will be more teams in the race

Taaramäe became Tamaaree during one avond etappe, when he was doing his 'sensational live commentary' of a recorded segment of the race... And no it wasn't a mistake, he mispronounced the name 5 times...
