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 :rolleyes:

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

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.

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.

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.:)

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.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

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

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