What BBC channel is the Olympic mtb on?

i’m afraid that i overslept today,have only just caught the race.what happened to the brit riders? have they crashed out?

I think their stems are longer than 50mm too!

Or stopping at the top of EVERY climb to “just tweak my gears and check my pressures” (whilst pretending not to be in coronary distress.

This is a thriller of a race, love it!

Makes me want a race bike and some lycra. And some lungs. And some legs. Proper impressive performance.

Sprint finish!

lost his saddle

see his saddle fall off?

Has he lost his saddle?

Fontana NO SEAT!!!!!

wot no seatpin?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN!!!

Epic ding dong battle here, they’re on the limit!

commentators not noticed his lost his saddle! awesome race

Saw that just now poor sod ouch and they have not noticed on the commentary

I saw it fall off, wondered what had come off his bike, then no seat!

Can’t believe they haven’t noticed either!!

FS 29er FTW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! great race

“Fontana is almost sitting down” – Ed Leigh

Erm, no he’s not.

I’m glad Fontana held on for Bronze after losing his saddle, he deserved that medal. Great finish!

Magic racing

God they look trashed at the finish! How did Fontana keep going with no seat?

Great Finish!

so what happened to the brits? 🙂

Kileen fell, suspected broken ankle. Don’t know who else we have?

The brits stopped for the cake back on lap 1……….

God they look trashed at the finish! How did Fontana keep going with no seat?

He stood up – must have killed his legs. Mind you I once heard of someone finishing a time trial after loosing his saddle ten miles to go and still doing a good time

They deserved the medals though. Spaniard deserves a special moustache medal though

😆

ah sorry to hear that 🙁 was a great race though 🙂

Crashed, laid beside track receiving attention

sorry double post 😳

Killeen was the only Brit in there. Goes on World Cup points for qualification and Liam is the only one who got sufficient points. Same with Annie Last in the women’s yesterday. Rio should have riders like Kenta Gallagher able to qualify as well…

Didn’t Kileen crash in one of the other olympics too?

Haha an advert about cake straight after the MTB ended 😀

Great race enjoyed it. Wanted Fontana to pull it out of the bag at the end.

i think he did in beijing.he crashed on the first lap and damaged his handlebars.he did finish the race i think.

How does your whole seat post fall out?! Course obviously rougher than it looks on equipment. Absalon failed due to a puncture.

Maybe he was riding the smallest frame he could get like some on here do and the post was up over the limit
