2016 Olympic Road Races and Time Trials *Spoilers*

[Crackle]

Cars out the gap

 

[rich p]

Coming down quickly now

 

[HF2300]

And back together.

 

[Buddfox]

Team GB need to get to the front of the peloton now - the next break may stick

 

[mjr]

Anyone notice the nice straight road along the seafront and the cycle path alongside sinuous

Yep but if you were riding along there, you would want to look at the beach half the time, wouldn't you?

And as soon as I tried to point out the drunk bike track to those I was watching with, it straightened!

 

[HF2300]

Team GB need to get to the front of the peloton now - the next break may stick

I don't think there's a Team GB to get to the front, or much of a peloton left to get to the front of. It'll be Armitstead alone.

 

[Buddfox]

Looks like there's about 100m between the front group and the Armitstead group, but the commissaire's car is between the groups.

 

[Buddfox]

Armitstead looking good here, she seems more in control than those around her

 

[Crackle]

I wish Brotherton would stop whittering on about Armitstead and mention others

 

[mjr]

Vos and Armitstead trying to keep in sight of the climbers in the hope of catching them before the finish.

 

[smutchin]

I wish Brotherton would stop whittering on about Armitstead and mention others

He clearly doesn't know any of the names.

"And now we're looking at... er... two riders."

 

[smutchin]

Fingers crossed they all get down this descent safely.

 

[Buddfox]

Borghini and van der Breggen looking cooked

 

[HF2300]

B&B are doing quite a good P&P impression at the mo.

 

[Buddfox]

I think Boardman is wrong to say Armitstead is out if it - 50 seconds not far

EDIT - he has just corrected himself!
