Ah right cheers. So do we have a medal hope in the road race?

Yes, it's possible.

Its tricky the road race, a road race is like a one off game in football (anyone can win, some conditions suit certain teams better). Whereas a Grand Tour (Tour de France) is like a league season the best always wins. Froome would have a chance in any race, he's the best cyclist in the world at the moment, Yates is also very good.

In regards to the time trial. Usually the time trial is on a fairly flat course which wouldn't suit Froome. However, i've heard its a bit hilly this one, similar to the time trial in the Tour de France this year (which Froome won).

I wouldn't be so sure just yet, the Spanish look like they want to reel this in.

I hope so. lol Froome has just gone.

Two of the 3 going down on the descent ....tough luck after hours in the saddle

 

[MCFC1993]

Bloody hell, everyone's going down.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Fucking hell, it's carnage.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Yes, it's possible.

You were saying?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I don't usually watch cycling, but that was an incredible race.

That leg break was a bit gruesome

 

[malg]

Watching the men's gymnastics, and what the fuck is it with the Yanks and shouting? Annoying cunts.

Oh, and the BBC coverage is wank. Just show the fucking events and stop it with the fucking graphics and stupid fucking videos.

That leg break was a bit gruesome

What sport was that in?

 

[malg]

Just seen that that Peaty guy break the world record in the 100m breast stroke heat. Great interview afterwards as well, sounds like a really down to earth guy.

You need to switch to women's football on red button. Not a massive improvement on the chest front, but as for everywhere else... It's outrageous.
