Plug your laptop into the TV then has to be better than the Beeb?

But I bought a £30 chromecast doobry so I could stream to the telly. It's paid for itself tonight simply for lack of channel hopping frustration.

BBC online coverage froze for me at the finish line with both teams in view on the edge of the screen! A rather nervy wait for it to finish buffering...

Ah, that's what TV people call jeopardy.

Great stuff, that lad Skinner has done not too bad in the 4 years since he was riding the Thursday night track league at Meadowbank.

Didn't realise he was a Scot. Strong, very strong.

He's not a Scot, he's a winner, so he's British.
When he starts losing he will be Scottish.

Jess Varnish on BBC Radio 4 this morning said that Philip Hindes had to train with a bigger ring than normal so that he didn't create the sort of break between 1st and 2nd rider that damaged a number of teams, and also gave him a higher delivery speed. They got it perfect on the night.
Sad for Jess, though, left behind while the women are out in Rio.

Woke my wife up, that race did. And I was trying to be quiet.
