Olympic Road Race Men

[Arnout]

Three Spanish riders in front. Might become interesting.

No its not. They originally made a course that was flatter than 50 laps round the champs elysee that visited all Londons monuments.

Everyone said it was a cav course then they, god knows why, changed it into a course that by the standards.of London (where it has to take place) is very hard.

London standards don't mean squat .. these are pros off the TDF with Mountains ... not some 3.4 percent hill some 40k from the finish line ! Box Hill would be what ... a 4th cat. climb at best ? It's a blip for these guys... no matter how many times they repeat it.

Team Spain is getting into the game.

 

[spalco]

How many km left, anyone know?

 

[maxmartin]

Yes, I've read something abouth EBH not being able to eat properly which harmed his chances in the long races

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

Froom:bug problem
EBH: Eating disorder

 

[issoisso]

Portuguese Eurosport speakers claiming that Eisel is helping Cav in order to get a medal by ending in 2nd place.

*Sigh*

I wish that doping ring investigation in the Algarve would just get to the convictions phase already so Martins can be jailed and we can finally stop listening to his constant idiocy

The Spanish Armada vs the British Jetfueled Rocket

 

[Arnout]

How many km left, anyone know?

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

 

[meat puppet]

Come on SUISSE!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Eisel should never participate in any world ch. or olympic ch. again

 

[Arnout]

46 seconds for front group apparantly.

 

[Parrot23]

And surely Phinney should be able to pull on the long flat run in.

 

[Arnout]

Forget that, 50 seconds, 37km to go.

 

[JibberJim]

So it's not actually Eisel as the guy is riding Specialized - so Eisel's disappeared.

 

[hrotha]

well theres eisel on the front for anyone that had doubts

I imagine they'll want to save Eisel for the spot as last man in the leadout, since that's the weakest spot in UK Postal.

That's what you get when have PROFESSIONALS ride the Olympics !!! lol

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

It's a joke ... but so what ? ... love or leave it

 

[Arnout]

Nordhaug doing pulls in front group(?), good to see.

 

[DirtyWorks]

I suspect they have "no problem" with it if something like that occurs.

The last script with the 7x winner was unbelievable!!! I'll stop now.

I don't think anyone is worried about Gilbert hanging out there. My understanding is there's a long flat run all the way into the finish. As long as the gap does not grow in the next 30 minutes, any break will very likely be crushed.

 

[meat puppet]

Eisel should never participate in any world ch. or olympic ch. again

Agreed. This is too obvious. Not that I make much outta the Olympic spirit anyway, though.

 

[El Pistolero]

So exciting.
