    Cancellara meanwhile looks to be measuring his effort nicely, he’s going well.

    I guess the battery ran out with all those hills..

    Okay, tri-bar snapping, too much power?

    Froomey out of it for the win, though it’s all quite tight from 2nd to 5th – gold is Cancellara’s if his motor batteries don’t run out he can hold it.

    Well that’s one thing decided, G stayed upright

    ‘G’ well done lad, considering the crash.

    Wow, Castroviejo took almost a minute out of G in the last third, having been only 30s up before.

    Cancellara riding this so well, a well deserved win if he gets it. Can’t see that time getting beaten.

    Looking like Spartacus, Dumoulin, Froomey

    Love the patronizing ‘slow down’ marshals at the end. There’s about 8 of them!

    Cancellara absolutely demolished them all. Phenomenal ride, great way to sign off his career.

    Really chuffed that Geraint was in top 10 🙂

    Will Cancellara ride again after that? Got to be hard to get himself up for the rest of the season, when he’s just achieved his main target of the year.

    The other question is what on earth happened at that second time check where he was shown as being well down?

    They’re not marshalls, they’re scousers..

    Love to see Cancellara win, pure class.

    Crowd looked more like the tour of Dubai or a local crit than the Olympics though.

    Sweet jesus, those GB track tops are hideous.

    Even wearing that Froomey still looks a lot more happy than Dumoulin – I guess he’d already achieved his objective for the season and this was just a bonus.

    GB tops designed by Stella McCartney innit.

    Yeah. Inspired by the look of barfing up one of her mum’s ready meals.

    There’s been some bad ones over the years but that is an absolute ten out of ten, top of the class, gold medal winning minger of a design.

    I blame Stella McCartney for the number of fourth places GB have got. It’s the highest position you can achieve and not have to wear the track suit for the cameras.

    I’ve just mentioned those jackets in another thread over there >>>>>>>>>

    They look like something you’d find on a tourist tat stand on a street corner in London.

    Pleasing win for Spartacus there. Nice to get something decent from his last season.

    I guess he’s got to be in contention for the Worlds ITT so I’d imagine he’ll have a crack at that. Not sure what else he’s got on the calendar. Was he going to the Vuelta? Il Lombardia?

    Be a major disappointment for Dumoulin that. I wonder how much his Tour injury cost him?

    Its a shame that Fabian is retiring as we wont see the Olympic TT champion ride after this year.

    Pretty much the right result on form, I’d say! Shame for Dumoulin that he was a bit crocked.

    So, what’s up next?

    Team Sprint tomorrow!

    Massive congrats to Cancerella, absolutely killed it in miserable and difficult conditions. I recall he was looking good for a medal until his fall in 2012 ?

    Yes, I’ve seen that the Team Sprint gets in the way of the proper bits of track cycling, namely the Team Pursuit.

    Sprint. Meh, wash your keyboard out!
