[BobbyMorri]

oh WOW!!!!

Majka for the win. Steven Bradbury like. Get off Froome. he has saved himself for the TT. going to be a big(6-8 riders) for the silver.

 

[BobbyMorri]

massive turn of pace by GVA.

here we go with playing pussy. will give the chase are chance if GVA doesnt do the pace. nope, gap is way too big. GVA thumped them in the sprint.

 

[BobbyMorri]

well, i completely didnt call that. No control whatsoever.

 

[catstorm]

What a garbage course, no thought put into it at all.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Dutch girl, leading on the decent, just crashed hard. hopefully she is alright, but that looked nasty.

Gives Abbot, of the USA, a very healthy lead.

Yeah, she went down real hard didn't she. It'll be interesting to see if the American can hold on, that's a good sized group chasing her now.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Hope Lizzie doesnt win or medal.

missed 3 drug tests in the last year. only here due to lawyers.

[BobbyMorri]

Oh wow. what a race.caught in the last 500m. and no medal for all that effort.

Good to see the dutch girl win.

A member of Australia's women's pursuit track cycling team has been taken to hospital after a high-speed crash at the Olympic velodrome in Rio.

Melissa Hoskins was training with team-mates when four of the five-member team crashed from their bikes

I could think of better preparations.

TT tomorrow. Froomy all the way

 

[yellowandblack21]

Conditions could make a bit of a lottery of the TT races today, one slip and it could be all over.
Hoping for good things from Linda V in the ladies race running now

 

[catstorm]

I simply do not trust any Russian athletes.

 

[BobbyMorri]

I simply do not trust any Russian athletes.

yeah agreed. it is a shame

Cant see Froome being beaten. Only Dumoulin perhaps. the climbs will be big enough to hurt the pure TT riders like Dennis, Fabian and Martin.

Rohan Dennis leading after the second checkpoint.

Rohan Dennis leading after the second checkpoint.

Looks a very good show to medal maybe even gold.

 

[GreyCrow]

Come on Rohan keep on gohan

 

[BobbyMorri]

think he has gone out very quickly. i hope i am wrong, but that last time gap was not promising.

 

[BobbyMorri]

yep. Fabian now 16 secs in front. Dennis cracked on that climb. he wasnt good looking going up it. shoulders moving, low gear and it just looked slow.

 

[GreyCrow]

Froome seems to be behind Martins time. Martin looks to be behind Cancellara

 

[GreyCrow]

Arrghh what the Rohan has a bike change

 

[catstorm]

Well that's that *
