2016 Olympic Road Races and Time Trials *Spoilers*

Good to see Spain doing their turn on the front in addition to Stannard, presumably Italy will also get involved at some point.

I'd also like autocorrect to stop changing Stannard to Standard

This is turning into an interesting race.

Part of me thinks that a lot of races are this interesting in the early stages, but we just don't normally get to see it.

Yates is a long way back

I reckon that some riders will get lapped at some stage

I don't think that's allowed to happen. They'll get picked up by the broom wagon.

Just got here - who's in the break? Looks like Kwiatkowski, Albasini, Pantano, then...???

I sometimes wonder about the commentary. Boardman mentioned that the Danes had now come to the front, but missing that Froome plus one other GB rider (either Stannard or Cummings) were there as well. Surely that would have been more relevant?

Don't worry, the Beeb will have plenty of utterly maddening UKcentric favouritism in other sports over the next two weeks or whatever it is.


I am not even going for countries here, only certain riders.

What satellite channel might a person find this on?

472 or 480

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

BBC 1 Red Button

 

[HF2300]

Or online at http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/olympics/36439120 (I could only find Rugby 7s on RB)

 

[HF2300]

A channel devoted to Greek Songs. There really is something for everyone.

Maybe it's a sung commentary.

So why is the Road Race not on the Red Button as indicated by Hazel Irvine? Ahh!
