2016 Olympic Road Races and Time Trials *Spoilers*

[HF2300]

Czech Republic attacking

If Lizzie is watching she should be texting her mechanic to get some wire bottle cages on and squeeze them in a bit.

 

[HF2300]

Hope GB are with the Czechs here...

G, Stannard and Froome in the front group.

I noticed that the organisers had a plan B for the cobbled section as it looks as though the tarmac on the other side of the barriers runs the entire length

Commentators just said the new Tarmac has been laid specially for the time trial.

Cummings should take it easy here - if he's got some beans, they'd be better expended on the second circuit

 

[HF2300]

They're looking for Yates - wasn't that him with Cummings?

No I saw him in the main peloton

"That's not Uran, it's a rider from Iran"

Lucky he looks ok anyway.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Iran crashed, not Uran

As they said, cobbles would be fun for a tt.

I have to go out at 6.30 and it won't be finished by then.
Likely Lads result avoidance again.

 

[Buddfox]

Looks like it will all be back together before the second circuit

 

[Buddfox]

Am trying to work out what Yates is up to. He can't have expended much effort at this point - I wonder whether he'll have a crack up the climb on the second circuit to see if he can make something stick.

He was very cagey about his role in the interview they showed before the race.

"thats Ritchie Porte, look his foot came off"

Mrs SB's head snaps up from her iPad expecting blood.
