2012 Olympic Road Race

Solo Spaniard on that Bushy Park RAB :)

Bourgain to win

Trackies can't turn right, he crashed through the window of a Starbucks at kilometre 3.

This BBC coverage is dire. I'm off out on my bike to pick up my otter t shirt, hopefully don't miss too much.

It is quite shit coverage isn't it.

Its coverage, be thankful.

Go team IoM.

sorry, how much left of the race? roughly

3 hours.

commentary is moronic

If I was the big swiss lad, I would want to be behind someone other than the tiny American. Can't imagine he blocks much wind for him.

'quite a poor season by his standards' Boardman on Cancellara, you fucking cock

Wiggo et al... (although my camera skills mean you might be only able to recognise him from his sideburns). Walton on Thames this morning...

Top, top skidding from 119 to avoid that crash

Who else is on boxhill, I want minute by minute, lap by lap comments..

Or any commentry really.
Why is there no bleeding live footage anywhere on the webz?

I want to be in the parallel universe in which the commentary is actually good.

This is dreadful. So little information, so little insight... just rambling nonsense.

Just leaving with the Good Lady Wife and her Cowbell to find a place at Hyde Park

What are my chances?

y u no give us time splits?

I get the impression these commentators learnt everything they know about cycling in the past month from the evening standard.

Lack of timing information is funny too.

One of them is Boardman I believe.

Olympic Broadcasting provides the video feed so it's their fault, not BBC.

Clocked Froome's time on Box Hill at about 5:30 which is not too shabby :D

Commentary can only work with the info they have. Boardman knows just a little bit about racing...

who are in the break? no commentary at all via Dutch livestream :-(

found a 2 hour old tweet -

Westra-Schar-Roelandts-Brajkovic-Beppu- Menshov-Park-O'Grady-Castroviejo-Pinotti-Dugan - Kristoff

Rogers breaking away solo, don't think he can keep that up...
