Cracking Olympics day today (high risk of spoilers)

What’s happened then?!

GB Might get a DQ for cocking up the changeover

No DQ, confirmed.

Woo. No DQ.

Edit: SHITTTTTTTT!!!!!

phew

Disqualified

And, now we are again.

Wut?

But wait….

Dammit 😈

no

The tannoy just said GB DQ’d

If we are in the final we are going to be wary of the changeover now and might loose vital time…

edit oh cock

balls!

So does this mean Bradley Wiggins isn’t the most hated man in cycling now?

Couple of fannies

Bloody bbci player has crashed and I cant get any coverage?!

No, because Pendleton is female… Wiggins is still the most hated man! :p

Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/p00w2zws if Iplayer isn’t working.

@druidh

Does the second rider’s front wheel actually have to be behind the front rider’s then as they cross the line?

I think he was referring to the umpire

What happened anyway? I’m stuck with poverty-spec broadcasting here and didn’t see it.

So will that turn VP into a gibbering wreck or spur her on to make good later on?

edit looked like Varnish backed off a bit early too

British cycling tweeted….

‘Heart-break for Jessica Varnish, whose Games are over’

No, because Pendleton is female… Wiggins is still the most hated man! :p

You don’t say…..

It wasn’t her I was talking about.

Pendleton cocked up and took over Varnish before she’d fully crossed the line. Whoops!

She looked bloody fast though

A bit harsh when the commissaires have discretion on their side.

I can’t work Cav out at the moment.

Bloody jobsworth

A bit harsh when the commisaires have discretion on their side.

Not so sure myself. VP clearly a lot faster than Varnish. When you are dealing with 100ths of seconds it cant be fair to allow any discression that could give an advantage?

How dare he apply the rules!

You missed a bit druidh

How dare he apply the rules when he has some discretion!

So I’m not in the UK so sorry if this has been asked and answered. But why is the track so fast? Is it just the athletes and equipment has improved? Or have they treated the track with a different material?

I’m kind of hoping we get **** all medals anyway, just to see the media go ape shit.

empty seats in the velodrome. WTF!

AAAAARGH!

Damn.

Nice shirt Don Carlos. 8)

empty seats in the velodrome. WTF!

All the hipsters that got tickets are still locked up for protesting outside the opening ceremony.

Damn, such a shame.

On the empty seats thing you could get the £325 ones (or thereabouts) this morning on the ticket site, I guess they are unwilling to discount the top class seats so we’re still seeing empty rows.

Ok, so what exactly is going on?

I’m confused…

why is the track so fast

They got me in to sand and finish it. I’ve used a special lacquer in certain spots that only Team GB know. 😉

“The polished unit of Great Britain.” Deadly?
