Are you only here to keep moaning about team GB?

1. where do I "keep" moaning
2. you think all five riders at the front is a good idea? Can you point to it working well at a recent Olympic road race?
You were moaning about Froome earlier.
no one knows how this race is going to go, maybe they feel is safer to be at the front...but if you know best maybe you should write in and tell them what they're doing wrong

Good to see the producers at the olympics hold up the tradition of keeping timedifferences a secret.

Why are you being so sensitive? It's a perfectly valid observation considering GB have failed in the past using these tactics. Stop trying to stifle debate.

Thanks

Has broken down numerous times in the last half hour.

It's so infuriating that I'm not *** allowed to watch this race just because I'm in a country that doesn't follow this sport.

Doesn't the provider of Olympics in your country offer streams of the races their not showing on their main channels?

i feel sorry for you people who can't get all sports on a live stream, but then i remember we're going to have exactly the same problem because the *** IOC sold europe wide rights to Eurosport and their sh***y service

Managed to get BBC with a free vpn soft. I'll delete it after the race but for now is good.

unfortunately, everyone knows... what to be afraid of: enough Spanish surviving the last climb to chase down attackers (unless it was Vroom washing machine attack, gainin 40 sec on the climb and TTimg for gold)

France keeping a very low profile so far. I wonder if a couple of their riders and Belgium will try to get into a break on the first run up the main climb - when Spain, Italy and GBs workhorses will be already on the limit.

Haha, no. You think it's the 21st century here?

In past Olympics you were able to watch everything on great, legal streams from various broadcasters on eurovisionsports, but not this year.

Austrian commentator just said Cancellara would have preferred a flat course where he could win in a bunch sprint...
And he just said "this is Ian Stannard, the famous sprinter...

They have no reason to show themselves now. Barguil will probably be the first to go in the wind.
