2016 Olympic Road Races and Time Trials *Spoilers*

[rich p]

I think it was 2011 when he had a really strong early season, and the Tour course looked like it suited him well, but Katusha in their wisdom made a policy decision to send an all-Russian team - led by Vladimir Karpets!

I remember thinking at the time that he'd probably been denied his best chance of Grand Tour victory. But maybe Evans would have won it anyway. By the time the Vuelta came round, he'd gone off the boil.

And he wasn't helped by ValvPiti when Rui Costa won the worlds, which would have been a deserved honour for JRod

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

Glad ye appreciate it!!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Kopecky caught!

 

[HF2300]

Boardman's just said what I was thinking - not really sure why Kopecky hasn't dropped back to that chase group.

 

[Buddfox]

And that, as they say, is that

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Now the real race starts...

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Peleton all stretched out with huge gaps now appearing once more

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Well, on my live stream Kopecky still hasn't been caught...

now she has.

 

[Buddfox]

Is it just Armitstead in this group for GB?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I was thinking that those camera men on the motorbikes must have a long, hard day too, I mean, all that time trying to do your job vs the motion of the bike and also having that ruddy great camera.... Those guys must be fitter than they look, especially in events like le Tour!

 

[Booyaa]

I hope not, she has not been found guilty.

She admitted missing the tests herself, I don't think there is any finding to be had.

BBC iPlayer is .2 of a Km behind, but yours sounds like it is longer!

There's another thread for this.

Think your live stream may not be all that live.

Ummm, Yes, and Pooley is there too
