2016 Olympic Road Races and Time Trials *Spoilers*

Leader narrowly avoids some guys on the road...

But the stronger riders in the peloton not following up Pooley's efforts on the descent and the group pulls away again...

Incidentally, Pooley is tiny. Even smaller than I remember her being.

Pooley and Elvin trying to get away, from the peleton

This doesn't feel like a good use of Pooley's energy. If we'd wanted a rider up the road, she should have gone with Armstrong. Better to save her effort for the climbs to come

Vos off the front of the peleton

I've switched Boardman off so I can listen to Doug instead

Leader (Kopecky) 22 seconds ahead, the chasing group are roughly the same behind, and then the Peleton are roughly the same behind again.
