2012 Olympic Road Race

Apparently it's not the BBC, or any of the other commentators' fault at all. Guardian says:
The commentators are struggling ...

                                                               The Olympic organisers may  have been able to throw the Queen out of a helicopter with James Bond,  but they don't appear to have the wherewithal to provide screen captions  or a clock for their bicycle-racing coverage.

They're obviously being fed no  information by the race organisers and are struggling, heroically, it  must be said, to provide inciteful commentary on a bicycle race with  only rough guestimates of how far the riders have travelled (about  60-70k) and how big the gap between the peloton and the breakaway group  is (5min 20sec) at the last unofficial count.
