Damn You [name of unklehomer's employers redacted] !

"I'm sorry, your version of Flash is out of date."

Teddy is now officially thrown out of cot. I had a cunning plan involving a small IE window and a subtle single earphone...

You guys are my commentators. Go!

Why would you think that it's a road race.

Was the dog Fenton?

I hate to be negative, but why don't the commentators know who everyone is. There will be lot of people watching for the first time. I'm hoping the commentators step up soon. Come on fellas! Where is to Rob Warner!

Watching from afar and I have to commend the public for getting out and supporting it.

Not the bbc in control of pictures. World wide coverage is the same, controlled by IOC/LOCOG. That said, Hugh porter should have a list of riders names/numbers you'd think!

Looks like they are struggling to get the info needed for good commentary. They do not have time splits, race radio etc.

yep, same here in Belgland. The video is the same as the IOC streaming so there seems to be limited info. available 🙁
