Coz you're a know all? I think I've phrased that right...How am I supposed to know?

I've made the mistake of telling the office TV to rescan. I'm sure it'll finish and detect some services really soon now...
Sorry. We're relaying the sensible bits from the BBC commentary, so it's very incomplete. Like announcing the next starter as Algerian when he's wearing a red and white skinsuit with something like "Turkiye" written all over it.
Why's Geschke not going to win?

Anyone seen anything of Taylor Phinney yet? I'm hoping for good things from him today (but not holding my breath)

If Froome attacks the whole of the course like that he'll be needing his running shoes again.

Froome sets off, powers along the cycle track section, then bounces and writhes over the cobbles... it's looking rather like he's going to be testing his bike-handling skills again 
And the TV director shows us a nice replay of the magic cloth wiping the finish line camera... and then a replay of G passing his minute-and-30 man.

I'm also enjoying Chris Boardman boggling that the Olympic time trial goes over some stretches of tarmac "only two metres wide with quite hard edges"... but I think it's a nice bit of realism to see the pros having to put up with the sort of cycle tracks we do

And they're being allowed to use their own water bottles today, instead of the Official Olympic Bounce-out Bottles seen in the road race

Glad Boardman just remarked on Cancellara's left knee sticking out - I was thinking that looked a bit odd. Is it his usual style? Surprised I've never noticed it before.

A rider just passed someone dressed as Santa wheeling a bike along?
