Hope it won't happen for the Olympic event but the fact that the last 300m of the Mall to the finish was entirely screened off for a dribble of pass holders was a fucking disgrace. Room for hundreds, filled with the few whilst the rest of us were all squashed up further back. How come it's always like this over here? And it wasn't just that there were barriers, there was blue tarpaulin along the whole way so you couldn't even stand back and view. Rubbish. And dare I say typical of the Olympics committee organizing things according to their entirely miserable restrictive practises and 'chosen partners'....Total bollocks and the antithesis of what watching road racing is about.
