And lots of coverage on the BBC sport website including this video with Victoria Pendleton, where she's told "you're not like other track cyclists, you're pretty". The sexist doing the interview is, I think, one of those rowing gold medalists. Most over-rated sportsmen ever.

It's on Eurosport as well. I was gonna wait and see if Liggett was doing commentary on BBC. He's not so Eurosport might be better option? Fsck it.. I'll record both.

Doesn't Hugh Porter do most of the commentary on the Beeb? Will more than likely be Mike 'The Laughing Gnome' Smith on Eurosport.

Rob Hayles suspended for 2 weeks - high haematocrit levels.

Surely if Liggett isn't commentating for the BBC it's safe to watch their coverage?

Liggett rules! :)

i like the old 'digging deep into the suitcase of courage' and 'stretching the elastic', both very evocative phrases.

Well done Bradley, but what was with the Oasis hair cut? Also, why couldn't the presenter speak properly at the end? Muppets!

Speaking of muppets, what about the guy supposed to be supporting the Greek guy's wheel apparatus?

False start wheel-slip lol!

Shock-horror!
The Japanese team aren't riding NJS frames.

Nor do they have Converse on.
