Olympic cycling - track and road (may contain spoilers)

[ColinJ]

Colin, GCN+ was 20 quid for the year and ad free.

I'll probably go for that instead when this Eurosport subscription runs out.

Do they use different commentators to Eurosport and do they do properly-edited highlights shows rather than stitching together random chunks of races?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Same commentary.. They do highlights shows but offhand I can't comment on the quality of the editing

Pidcock is on it for the MTB! Brutal looking course.

There are better highlights of the men's road race than Eurosports typical woeful offering on iPlayer - Olympics Day one red button Men's Road Race and Beach Volleyball (the latter appears first)

Pidcock has a proper motor on him. Remember him doing similar in a tour series road race when he was about 17.
My lad is currently at an England hockey camp with his cousin. Suspect they will be getting exited.

1 lap to go with 14 second lead!
come on young man.

Does triathlon count here?

That looked proper demanding last night.

Winner sitting in a wheel chair and vomiting. Boys just falling in heaps after the end of it too. You can’t say there was lack of effort from anyone, and a GB silver too!

 

[Joffey]

PIDCOCK!!!!!!! Come on lad.

 

[Va Va Froome]

Tremendous effort! Wonder if Team GB can bag another medal before breakfast/work!

Looked incredible! Although the white tri suit with black underpants was NOT a look I’d want to try myself!

Tom Daley finally getting a gold too.
not cycling related I know, but still good news after so many heart breaks.

The false start was a bit Keystone Cops.
hope it didn’t ruin anyone’s race.

Just turned off BBC R4 in disgust. Gushing concentration on Peaty and Daley (Lee mentioned in passing) is understandable, but can't even get Tom Pidcock's name right!

5Live had very long interview with Tom, his mum, dad and coach who’s known him for years and raced with his dad.
It’s so sad that family can’t travel to cheer on their children.

The live commentary got excited at one point and called him Pim Todcock!

No disrespect though, just muddled his words, he was definitely well into the race!
