[Closed] Olympic TT Thread! - Spoilers within!

you are right DS he did not want to win and the money means he just wont GAS 🙄

Cheers for the link don Simon!

Have never watched cycling on TV in my life. I am hooked. Go Wiggo!

May even go for a road ride tonight - it'll be wall to wall MAMILs for sure...

What distance is the TT?
With it being so flat what kind of speeds should be expected?

Just got it on now sorry if this has all been covered

women were averaging around 45kmph

50k or so.
About an hour or so.

Taylor Phinney's killing it at the moment.

wiggins 5 sec down on Martin

Are they allowed radios to be told time checks?

Doesn't wiggins normally ride a negative split?

EDIT: Yep

“His pace judgment is much better,” says Brailsford, “and he is producing negative splits this season, that when you come back in the second half of a race quicker than you go out.

Gold Wiggins
Silver Cancellara
Bronze Froom

Martin will blow.

Ok,

When do i need to take a tactical coffee break to catch the last 10-15 minutes or so? I-player is no good on my PC and there is a TV with it on in the break room.

TIA

Are people in the crowd actually booing some riders or am I just mishearing?

damn thats tight

I thought wiggins looked nervous at the start.

I read somewhere that he knows from the first pedal stroke in the warm up if it's his day. Hope it's today!

That split put Froom 4th fastest then, now just need Martin to blow and I get my top 3 right..

Sounds like it- dunno what people would have against Rogers?

bigjim, try the gaurdian live feed... better than nothing if you cant watch it, as I cant, as my server seems to ban any kind of cycling..

Poor Sanchez - massivly unlucky to have to stop again.

I'm getting annoyed with athletes being descibed as "podiuming" or "medalling"

bigjim.... try vipbox.tv

Poor ol' Sanchez, a day to forget.

I heard it for Cancellera at the start as well 🙁

In my mind, I just hear it as "will he meddle today?" and imagine him engaging in Dick Dastardly tactics 😀

Sounds like it- dunno what people would have against Rogers?

Some Aussies were booing him and Richie Porte during the Tour for helping Wiggo beat Aussie Cadel... There are plenty of Aussies in London so maybe some of the same idiots...

Did Sanchez have a puncture? Why wouldn't they ride tubeless?

frome is really cranking it up

Oops - double post

so is martin

Martin leading at the 18km split.

Spartacus off the pace.....

Spartacus WTF ?

we might get a froome Wiggo 1 2 😯

Get on Mutton Chops!

bye bye spartacus, its a shame you arnt up there but...... come on wiggo!

Why wouldn't they ride tubeless?

Tubulars at mega high pressure, I can't see the racing fraternity changing away from it.

The Wig is first. Oh yes...

this is better than the road racing....

no tatic shenanigans. no being towed to the line.

RE Tubless ...because the risk of a pinch flat from a skinny fella is rather low 😉
