Imagine the damage to cycling in general and British cycling in particular Elizabeth Arms....Armistead's victory here would do.

I think Boardman is wrong to say Armitstead is out if it

Surely you're not suggesting Boardman might call the race wrong?

Not very much.

 

[Buddfox]

Not very much.

Agreed

 

[HF2300]

Is @coffeejo in da house?

 

[Buddfox]

Does anyone know who is in the Group 1 and Group 2 shown on the graphics? Is Group 1 van der Breggen, Borghini and Johanssen?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Armitstead and a few others now trying to bridge the gap to the leaders

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I have the feeling that even Armitstead is ambivalent at being seen to be too strong now.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Very similar to yesterday now: but two up front with a group chasing them down. Let's hope there are no crashes.

 

[Crackle]

Rain!

Yeah, how does he know what drugs she's taking!?

In interview perhaps, but any competitive rider isn't going to hold back on the road in an Olympic event

Shes said herself everything she achieves now is tainted and will be seen with suspicion.

99% of the non bikey population see cycling as universally drug fueled and bent as a nine bob note anyway, win or lose, most people will think no different about cycling than they already do.

And yesterday the lead rider got caught. Time to see who's got something left in the tank

Abbott's really descending gingerly
