2012 Olympic Road Race

I know, I really miss the Eurosport commentators.

What they need to do at this point is to tuck in behind someone fat on an expensive bike to avoid the headwind.

Here comes Dynamo to cut across their front wheels...

I guess at 250KM this is a long stage.

Explains why they are taking their sweet time.

Shit, I think that cyclist nearly hit the camera bike then.

fuck that dog was close to causing mayhem!

Fenton!

Exactly what I thought!

Lovely tarmac- where is that? And why isn't there a Virgin engineer digging it up?

Got tickets for the zico thing at boxhill if anyone wants them. You have a little area with a screen and overpriced food and drinks.

Breaking: Team GB disqualified for jumping the gun.

OK, awesome.

Who has the yellow shirt and a "HTFU Wiggo!" sign?

That made me chuckle. Tried to explain it to my mum, who I'm watching it with, got a quizzical look in return... Oh well. GWTP, mum.

According to Google Latitude, a couple of you have gone down to the Mall, one of you is on Kensington High St (does the race go that way?) and the rest of you are at home.

So few to no-one is going to actually watch it?

To be fair, I'm only at home precisely because I do want to watch it. And at the side of the road it would be "whoosh", and then I'd miss the rest. Couldn't imagine being able to get back fast enough to see the end.

Ah... pictures have just started on the BBC HD channel for it.

One of us is in LMNH

Eisel falling over again..

OK, where to watch now? Stuck at work, nowhere near london.

LL Cool J Sanchez to win after Cav gets taken out by an illegal minicab and Sagan is caught arguing with white van man..

That made me chuckle. Tried to explain it to my mum, who I'm watching it with, got a quizzical look in return... Oh well. GWTP, mum.

Andy, pop down here.

The BBC coverage is poor compared to what we are used to from the TdF and other races. No time splits. No information about who is in the break. I suppose we should just be thankful that Mark Lawrenson is not commentating.

Always a good idea to take a wolf dog out on a day like today without a lead. Some people should not be allowed to leave their house

Tactical dog release from one of the other nations..

Yep it is bloody shambolic. Arse and elbow spring to mind

It is a known fact that people over the age of 50 are flummoxed by the f word.

Decides to do four laps of the course.

Go Stuey!

I'm always flummoxed by 'flummoxed', too, even though I'm under the age of 50.
