Olympic Women's Road Race

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Is it Sporza or NOS that has a commentator who always says "Back in business"?

I don't know, could be any of them.

Like I said, more and more things in the Dutch language gets replaced by English. We don't even translate newly introduced terms (especially from new technologies) anymore.

Did the Russian team receive their outfit from the same provider as Spain?

Dear Cyclingnews.com

What´s up with the thumbnail photos gallery when it comes to women´s racing_! Those sexy beings................

 

[ansimi]

Great race! Excellent podium. Londoners definitely know how to keep their spirits up in the rain.

 

[JRanton]

Massive improvement from Copenhagen.

Very nice race and result.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Massive improvement from Copenhagen.

Very nice race and result.

Given an OK course (nothing more) and some bad weather, you get a much more typical race. The Copenhagen one was really not typical, but then it's not like the men's race was that much better there.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Great race! Great win for Vos. And glad to see Armitstead have such a great attitude, unlike her male compatriot.

 

[Bala Verde]

You mean Dutch?

no russian.

(can't find a picture of Zabelinskaya on the podium, but she wore something like this:

Yesterday Brodeal posted the Spanish outfit....

Well, I heard the clothing provider for the Spaniards is in fact Russian, so yeah, you could be right.

What a win for Vos. She deserves it. Like always, but sometimes that &*$# Bronzini turns up out of oblivion and steals it.

Yeah... Bronzini, or Guderzo, or Cooke, or Bastianelli.. LOL

But today she proved once and for all she is the strongest, the best, the most powerful and the only deserved winner of this race. Eat that you Bronzinis, Pooleys, Cookes, Arndts, Teutenbergs and others

 

[The Hitch]

There is some *** newspaper in the netherlands called "Algemeen Dagblad" which has as their main story some football rather than Vos.
During the ****ing olympics.

What ****s

 

[Mellow Velo]

It's pretty much all been said.
I still half expected Bronzini to miraculously appear from behind Vos's wheel in the final 20 metres, though!
Very refreshing that, for once, there's no one b*tching, whining and moaning about the final result.

Algemeen Dagblad is normally one of the more decent papers. But I guess you are talking about the internet division, which is rubbish. They don't really pay attention or only half attention and their choices are weird.

I'm 100% sure that Vos is on the front page tomorrow morning.

Algemeen dagblad decent? By Telegraaf standards maybe, but not by anything else. Always victimizing themselves and their target group, I hate that.

Well, Vos won fair and square this time. I'm happy for her as she's definitely worthy of a win like this. But I don't understand this sudden frustration?

Man, Bastianelli's win, that was awesome. Had such high hopes for her

Great atmosphere on the Mall again. Crowd number was a bit less then the mens but the weather was pretty wet!

Why are some riders listed as HD?

Hors Delay: Means they finished, but outside the time limit.

 

[Izzy eviel]

Apparently Twitter is to blame for all the poor coverage of the mens and womens road race.

Sorry guys! http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/news/olympic-officials-blame-twitter-for-shambolic-television-coverage-7985956.html

Awesome win by Vos. What a legend.

I really really hope she will win the WC in her own country as well.

Being the best in nearly every race you ride and then getting beaten by riders you see only a few times a year, even if you were AGAIN the actual strongest in the race, is just frustrating.

 

[Frosty]

As someone who doesnt really follow women's cycling at all... what happened to Vos riding against the men (not the top men but at a level where she could be competitive/good training). Has that happened or was it a publicity stunt, something taken out of context, etc?
