Too bad that exciting racing will be overshadowed by falls.
Good race.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Now there's a silver and bronze to save your energy for. Majka's easily got this

 

[burning]

I think that they are not aware of Majka

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Work damn you, work.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

What a year it could be for Tinkoff LOL

 

[BigMac]

FFS. I want to vomit.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

23 seconds.

 

[benzwire]

Catch him!!! GVA ftw

 

[Melo]

Chase FFS...

 

[TMP402]

Will there be any less deserved medals this Olympics?

 

[DanielSong39]

Have to attack now; no time to get tactical.

On the flip side, great performance from Majka!

 

[trucido]

Do they know he's ahead?

 

[Thepirateisgood]

Alaphi then or -gvA, great bike race nevertheless, and not because of the crashes please.
Not Maijka please, good rider not spiting but not like this

Not anymore. You can't have an Olympic champion purely due to a crash and call it a good race.

It was a good race, apart from the descents, far to many crashes deciding the victory in the end.

Purito just signalled to relay showing at the distance.

 

[Climbing]

*** hell, poor Vincent

 

[woodburn]

WTF. It's a gold medal. RIDE!

 

[Climeon]

Majak's got it

 

[SeriousSam]

Majka deserves this. Brilliant descending. As Nibali fans like to point out so often, it's a crucial skill for a bike rider

 

[WildspokeJoe]

:23 seconds is not that much.....

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Come on Jakob!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

All of you suck. Every rider in this chase group. You suck.

 

[rick james]

chasing group doesn't deserve it they are not working for it

This. It sounds strange, but if the crash hadn't happened they might have been caught because everyone would have chased.
