Olympic Women's Road Race

[JibberJim]

Cooke back on.

 

[burning]

Slow-mo racing, I even prefer HTC riding on the front rather than this

 

[User Guide]

Amstrong and Stevens? and Pooley? what were they doing back there?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Van Dijk attack again, but she was already dead on the last climb

 

[Libertine Seguros]

What the hell was Pooley doing right at the back when that crash happened?!

 

[Bala Verde]

does anyone have a stream?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Pooley straight up through the pack, off the front, catches van Dijk and... sits up.

They needed more laps of this, they simply don't believe they can stay away.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

They are going at slowmo pace.

Disappointing, very poor. We'll get a sprint this way

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vos and a very strong Armitstead.. can't see who

edit: Armitstead

Que Vos, Armistead did well.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Que Vos, Armistead did well.

Large group remaining, now anyone can win. One of the sprinters or late attack

 

[jens_attacks]

let me know please when eurosport starts

thanks

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vos in the same position as always. Reacting to everyone.

Van Vleuten is disappointing today

 

[JibberJim]

Armistead gets in break with Vos and doesn't work getting caught, and then attacks herself moments later...

 

[User Guide]

The germans must be happy with all this,Bronzini too

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Armitstead now attacking solo. Quite strange.

Ruben, you just watch, Annemiek will suddenly go solo with 10km to go having not done any work all day and will win, now you've said that.

 

[meat puppet]

pia sundstedt is still in the main group I presume. nice.

 

[Bala Verde]

funny how they do the superslomo in cycling. When you watch fencing they just use a regular slomo, and even that goes too fast in many cases.


Did Vos and van Vleuten indicate they still had trouble after their recent crashes?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

pia sundstedt is still in the main group I presume. nice.

Yup.

We now have an interesting situation as Olga Zabelinskaya's going for a looooong solo. A former junior world TT champion, and who has been very good in the last two years. It's too far unless she gets a lot of help from the bunch messing around, now Emma Pooley trying to counter-attack... is that Evelyn Stevens with her?

Edit: no, it's Neben - two former World TT champions now catching the Russian, and Vos too!

 

[User Guide]

Pooley and Neben?, now this is serious

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

This is a lot better for Vos if they continue riding

 

[meat puppet]

quite a break, i would say

 

[Bala Verde]

nice group of 4.

and three medals

 

[Libertine Seguros]

TV captions say Armitstead and Olds with Vos and Zabelinskaya.

If this group stays away Zabelinskaya MUST attack again, because Armitstead and Olds are both sprinters and Vos will obviously beat her in a sprint too.

 

[Caruut]

Says the time gap is 16s. It seems more.
