Olympic Road Race Men

[Cancellator]

Agreed. This could be an interesting race but so fecking hard to work out whats going on!

+1 from me. This way I might as well just turn on the TV 3 hours form now to see Cav win the sprint...

 

[Random Direction]

Is it just me, or is there a really high relative pace that is going to fry a lot of people before the 260 km are up? Hopefully GB fry themselves, but the alliance with Germany gives a hell of a set of TT riders to bring Cav and Greipel to the finish to determine 1-2.

Biggest factor could be the tight downhill left corner and a big crash at some time.

 

[spalco]

Ah, only 2 minutes left for the break.

 

[happychappy]

That is the gift which only carthe blanche in doping can give you. Hope the british people (no doubt very critical about others who dope) enjoys this.

Is Contadope riding in this race?

 

[Cancellator]

I wonder whether Cancellara and the other strong non-sprinters left in the main bunch will attack on the last loops and try to do the 50k solo, or will they try to get away from the hopefully tired GB squad on the flat in the last 5-10 k?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink attacks again

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Think the brits doing a really good job pegging this.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Oh dear, Porter.
Not a commentary clue.

No, it's not just you, they've been going almost all-out for a while now, race is getting very fast.

 

[woodie]

I want to see Cancellara do this again!!

Is this mess a BBC broadcast??

No, the NOS is providing the images.

I don't know who is responsible for the onscreen info, but there is a serious lack of information.

 

[thrawn]

How did the Aussies miss this group :/

No, the Olympic Broadcast is providing the images. If you're watching a NOS livestream, they get those images from the Olympic Broadcast. As well as the on screen info.

 

[The Hitch]

But guys from NOS are producing the Olympic broadcast.

[Cancellator]

[greenedge]

Ligget is actually doing quite well tonight- though he probably needs a partner for more of it.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Brilliant, slomo images.
