[Pro Tour Punditry]

Just back home, are they showing the rugby 7s as an interlude to the cycling?

Assume Dumoulin baled out to save his arm for the TT.

Yep, he had one off the wrist. A cast, that is.

Bit naughty from Aru and his team car

You naughty boy, Richiepoo.

Just channel hopped to see what else was on, and was delighted to see that when commentating on the Equestrianism, one refers to taking a 'luncheon break' not a lunch break.

Of course. Lunch breaks are for the servants.

Now watching the ladies Rugby 7s, GB vs Brazil.

It is the very first game seeing as it has been introduced at these games, and GB scored the very first try.

Tee hee

They seem to be confused what they're showing where. They're doing a variety on BBC1. I've been watching cycling online at http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/olympics/36439120. It's alleged it's on RB but I haven't found it.

Second game, I think. France - Spain was on earlier.

They also ask you to wave in appreciation instead of clap for certain compettitors as their horses can be nervous.

Certainly that is what happened when I went to see it in the Paralympics at Greenwich last time and it was rather lovely to see several hundred people all waving in relative silence.

Bum, the commentators lied to me.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Anyway, bikes!

Hope GB are with the Czechs here...

Edit: Adam Yates, who's been at the back all day, is with the main peloton. As Boardman says, don't think this will be terminal, but will cost some people some effort
