2012 Olympic Road Race

And did you cry down the phone?

Wept like a baby.

I never saw those ads, I only know it from everyone posting in the TdF threads.

Road race is now on Bbc three

Thanks! This is about as hard to keep up with as a race without time differences or correct lap info.

That was because of your hamstring cramping though wasn't it?

Wept like a baby.

Eurosport kick in at 2:15pm.

Quick update anyone? am on phone with awful connection - barely enough to get to this page much less scroll through - ta

Breakaway 3 mins to 4 mins ahead. Small splinters inbetween and lots of attacks to bridge the gap. Team GB lead the peloton with a creeping death tactic... they hope to wear everyone down.

Long far left? I'm watching it and I watching it and I don't know.

@CYOA

Update - China won gold in womens 10M air rifle

You're welcome ;p

Long far left? I'm watching it and I watching it and I don't know.

Finish around 4pm... you've got a while yet.

gracias vb - hopefully be by a home for the end #COMEONTIM

Estimate 3:50pm for finish at current pace according to Boardman.

Did I just see the forum's very own "TNRC" written on the road?

anyone seen Dan Craven?

BBC says 5 of 8 laps. Does anyone know if this is even half correct? I've been making breakfast at the same time and haven't kept up.

my tv signal is rubbish. Can barely see anything other than choppy blocks. The whole race looks pretty much exactly like that lego cycling thing that was posted in the Tour thread.

Looks like a lovely day in Surrey, at least.

Commentary is saying they've just started lap seven (of nine - do they count the first or last one) so make of that what you will.

Breakfast? It's mid afternoon - I've had 3 meals so far.

Tony Martin to sign for Sky?

Last time I heard he was doing time for shooting that gypo he caught burgling his house

ACE! TNRC goes global!

^^^^
Oh yeah, probably don't count the last one. Hadn't thought of that.

^^^
And yeah, late breakfast is great. Think of it as the peloton and lunch as the breakaway (rapidly decreasing time between one and the other).

Roadrace on Eurosport @ 2.35. Ladies rowing on at mo

they show team GB cornering very, very slowly, many times, I wonder how on earth they can stay at the front of the bunch like that

Would you be expecting us to get you to the battle in time?

It's about all you lot are good for.
