Olympic Women's Road Race

[JibberJim]

Bronzini having quite a long chase now with the atttacks coming. Italian's maybe brought the wrong tyres...

Generally lots of flint on the roads here in Surrey when it rains.

Bronzini sitting very close to the Italian team car...

 

[taiwan]

Too much time talking sense. Not enough time spent actually watching the race then

Porter and Boardman = the blind leading the partially sighted

Amusingly put, I must concede.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Lots and lots of punctures going on, Bronzini blatantly drafting back on.

 

[User Guide]

The americans know Bronzini has puncture?,they pushing hard.

 

[JibberJim]

Bronzini now got by the Comm's

and now back behind the car again...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bronzini flat and USA makes pace. They are not so nice as guys

 

[User Guide]

LOL @ Bronzini

 

[greenedge]

Vos, Olds and Teutenberg. Johansson and Hosking to also feature. No idea now if Bronzini will be able to now win a sprint.

 

[leftover pie]

any idea how long to go? the coverage i'm watching has got ****** all info.

a very polite sounding english chap commentating though, he'd make a great cricket commentator dats fur sure.

and maybe jim maxwell.

 

[JibberJim]

First steep climb in about 5 minutes, then a scary descent!

There's about 100km to go.

 

[leftover pie]

oh and there it is on screen! 91kms to go

 

[wirral]

Somebody went down a ditch.

 

[User Guide]

super narrow road= crash, anyone see the womens race from USA this year where they crashed on the start line ?

 

[JibberJim]

Another crash - the road does narrow significantly there - single car width from 1.5 car width, but still should've been easy to get through.

 

[JibberJim]

Commentary is awful, they don't even know where they are in the course - they say 15minutes from Box Hill and it's 25km away including a steep 6-7 minute climb

 

[Libertine Seguros]

The Dutch have decided to bring this into action, probably because they suffer from being constantly attacked themselves due to their strength at most major races.

We're getting some good moves now.

 

[User Guide]

Stevens and Pooley, hope Pooley isnt just helping armistead today

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lol, 1 tiny hill and half the peloton is dropped. Typical women cycling

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vos attacks with 80km to go. LOL

To be fair typical Olympic cycling, its not the top 66 riders or The dutch /americans/belgians/Brits would have many more riders
Vos breaking it up 3 of 20 for the dutch

 

[Frosty]

15-20 in the front group

 

[Caruut]

Dutch going crazy.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

3 Dutch riders in a group of 16?

 

[JibberJim]

Front group back to 40 odd

 

[T-Nielsen]

Anyone know if Armstrong dislikes the rain.
