Is it on the box somewhen Matt?

I was hoping that I had recorded it via the BBC red button this morning. I might have cocked up though!

It was on the BBC interactive channel on freeview this morning, although there's no way to record it via freesat, it's not on the EPG.

Here's the freeview schedule:

Thursday BBCi: 30/9/10: 3.50am - 8.40am - Mens elite time trial.
Saturday BBCi: 2/10/10: 3.50am - 8.00am - Womens elite road race.


While it's not on the freeview EPG, on the BBC website it says the mens elite road race is on from 10.00pm on saturday night until 6am ish sunday morning (sounds a bit vague to me), while the freeview epg says it's showing Moto GP....

If you want to catch up on the u23's race, then Eurosport has highlights, if you really want to catch it live, then the only place I can find it on satellite is RaiSport2 on Hotbird.

It's on Eurosport now

It shows up on my Freeview EPG on Ch301, I set my recorder 2 weeks ago to record, today and tomorrow.

It's a good result for Pooley and the margin of the win was impressive, now for the road race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Millar's on a flyer - about 5 seconds down on Fab at the mo.

Cancellara smashed it but Millar was superb to finish second. Well done old man!

Indeed. Probably the ride of his life.

1 Fabian Cancellara (Switzerland) 0:58:09
2 David Millar (Great Britain) 0:59:11
3 Tony Martin (Germany) 0:59:21
4 Richie Porte (Australia) 0:59:28
5 Michael Rogers (Australia) 1:00:3

Great result for Millar, it will make his cycling year into a happy period. Now what's he going to do in the Road Race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yello]

That's a superb result for Millar and one that I frankly wouldn't have expected. There's life in those legs yet!

How much use is he going to be to Cav now?! Maybe team GB's priorities have been illustrated?

hmmmm....this is what he says about "the hills"

"I felt good. I felt great on the first lap. My tactic was the opposite of Fabian's, it was to attack the first lap and then hang on for dear life. And that's basically what I did. I felt great and even at the first lap with the three climbs, by the end of the last climb I was coming up that the first time and I thought, 'Oh god this is going to hurt the next time round', and it did. It was very hard and I think we can safely say that in the road race that is going to be a hard climb. We suffered enormously just going up it twice. It is a hard course."

Well, I didn't predict Millar getting on the podium. My top three would have been Cancellara, Martin, Porte, given recent form. That was a fine ride.

Amazing!
How about a prediction on 6th 7th 8th in the road race before the results are published to the entire world.
Or were you being ironic, or joking maybe?
