"****ING IDIOT!!" - my money's on Yatesy 😉
poor bugger Stannard, shoved to the front already and told to bring it back
Just joined appears Porte had a problem but good young Scotty got him back. Invested here as I've been out with Porte and raced in a 24 with Scotty Bowden who's number 4 on the Aus team. Last time I saw him we were talking how to live cheap on the euro circuit.
WTF? BBC1. Where's the bloody cycling gone?
Red button or iplayer
getting nothing but blank screens on the red button (even after a retune )

Same here. Help!
those gutters look lethal, don't think I'd want to commute by bike in rio !
OK on mine
******* bbc
and the bandwidth on iplayer is shocking
iplayer back up to snuff now 🙄
iplayer is crystal clear here
his saddles dropped you muppets nothing to do with his gears
Red button doing nothing, so pleased I've finally got iPlayer as standard on the TV
carnage on those cobbles
standard of riding seems a little variable....... riding into bushes!
Properly steep in places too.
all these tiny "rental" team cars look odd 🙂
Some poor mechanicing going on, judging by the amount of dropped chains.
they're taking the piss a bit with some of these 'consultation' sessions back at the team cars 😉
What are you lit watching it on? Land channels or iPlayer. All I get is rowing or hockey...
iPlayer - they have a load of live Olympic streams (Youview box plugged into my TV)
Red button on BBC, via Sky.
Double entry.

It's because of the stupid decision not to allow radios: You either allow them for all pro events, or none.
I don't mean that - they're supposed to ride at the same time, not get towed.
lol possible undersized bottles 🙂
Why does it have to be all or none, and why is it stupid? I quite like the idea of the riders having to think for themselves rather than being choreographed from the team cars.
I thought everybody back at the team cars were recovering from mechanicals though? (in which case you normally get a bit of slack at being towed for a little)
I thought everybody back at the team cars were "recovering from mechanicals" though?
FTFY
😆
whens the jousting start ? 😯
Ah. iPlayer. Gotcha. 8)

I personally think it should be all or none: You can't go changing the rules from race to race, but that's my view.
Many of the "sticky hands" are people collecting bottle or snacks from the team cars, as well as those with mechanicals, or "mechanicals".
Hmm, I want to go surfing
Is that all of the British team up in the top 7? Are they going to try something, or just wear themselves out?
Wow, big splits!
Wow, big splits!
That's what happens when Steve Cummings sits on the front and puts a bit of pressure on!
Poels blowing up?!?
No radios is good, you have to think for yourself.
This course is brutal; cobbles, cross winds, steep climbs and techy descents. Whoever wins deserves it.
Looks like a cracking course actually although spectators seem a little thin on the ground... The coast road looks beautiful - wonder how clean that sea is... ❓
Couldn't bloody move for spectators on the entire Olympic course in London!
FFS Chris finish your mouthful before speaking 🙂
Where is it on? rowing on 1, hockey on olympics channel.
Has Chris Froome broken yet another Pinarello?

Battery for the motor was flat
It was mentioned on BBC that some people are having problems with the red button. I am, doesn't work. Seems older TV now don't work.
