Olympic Women's Road Race

Mechanical for Olds?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Olds gone!!

 

[User Guide]

she has funny wheels,puncture

 

[Machu Picchu]

Dropped Olds

Problem, probably a puncture.

 

[spalco]

How were the crowds on Box Hill, similar to the men? Lots of people on the road now, which is nice to see, surely the women appreciate it also (if they have time to look ).

 

[JibberJim]

Something happened to Olds ? Now out of the break - now 3 away for 3 medals... but a smaller group of course.

 

[Caruut]

If anything this is great for the group. Medals guaranteed for the three if they stay away. Boardman saying that Olds was working a lot with the break - I didn't really see that.

 

[JibberJim]

Johanson dropped - so good for the break.

Thunder in Kingston which they're approaching in 10min.

Olds gone!!

Bad news for Vos, the Americans still have 4 in the chasing group

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Right, this changes things... Olds puncturing and back to the bunch. Now Zabelinskaya more keen to contribute, as she would be guaranteed a medal if they stayed away now.

Johansson with a mechanical too, and Sweden will stop helping now! Disaster!

 

[meat puppet]

JOhansson flats. Swedes wont be chasing?

I know they sold out the tickets (because I tried to get some).

Full crowd all areas that there was for the men, was good to see
Edit including in the towns etc even with the weather

Good news for Vos! One less person to drag, and the Olympics are unique in that 2nd and 3rd are more prestigious (relative to 1st) than in most races.

 

[meat puppet]

Zabelinkaya in trouble, it seems. Vos beasting it.

false alarm, but there were some bike lengths

 

[User Guide]

Russian struggling,not good

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vos going faster than the entire Italian/german/american armada

 

[spalco]

Of course that's not scientific, but the break looks much faster to me than the peloton.

 

[Caruut]

BBC commentator (the one who doesn't know a thing about cycling) says the three leaders are "All punchi?ng well above their weight". Why do we employ such ****ing morons to do this job?

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Who's the faster sprinter-Vos or Armistead?

 

[will10]

Wow, Vos is strong.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

One more and they could trade them in for half a Vos.

 

[woodie]

I only just tuned in and Aus TV isn't showing the race, how far to go?

Maybe he meant it is a complement because they are smaller than the men.

23km. Just over half a minute for the break.
