Could be going for silver since US women fell. Gold looks gone unless the Aussie has gone too hard.

Gold looks nailed for Australia, unreal ride.

Could be Bronze for GB though.

 

[MCFC1993]

Anna Henderson guaranteed a medal.

It'll be silver or bronze, all on the American.

 

[Claytop]

Silver I think?

 

[MCFC1993]

Silver for Team GB in the time trial,
Anna Henderson adds to the tally, great ride.

The gold medalist was ridiculous though.

Noticed my dodgy stick has some pretty comprehensive coverage.

Makes you realise just how much sport is on when Eurosport are seemingly not showing the Rugby Sevens semi finals. So strangely I watched the French semi final on CNBC (American) of all places.

1 second difference in a road race is pretty insane haha well done Henderson.

 

[jimharri]

Looks like a nice day for a ride on the bike.

 

[Eccles Blue]

A Silver for Anna Henderson. Well done especially on the rainy roads. A few fallers there. I hope they are all ok.

A heck of a lot of water coming down over there. :-)

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Alvarez on.

If just said there was crowd trouble at the Argie first match. Crowd trouble at the Olympics.

Brown announces she’s retiring this season, then goes and blasts the world class TT field …. by a minute and a half over everyone else. Absolutely enormous gap over every other athlete.
Hmmmm.

Definitely unreal.

Brilliant from Henderson though :-)

It was a mess to be fair.

Argentina scored in 90+16min in the first game, it was an equaliser for 2-2. Moroccan fans invaded the pitch, players had to go inside.

VAR ruled the goal out for offside and the players had to come out 90mins later to finish the last 3mins of added time.

Ffs hahaha.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

2-1 Argies

 

[MCFC1993]

Tarling had to change bike in the time trial, could cost him gold.

Only 3 seconds behind Van Aert though. Could be faster people behind him.

 

[Claytop]

Bronze at best I think now.

 

[MCFC1993]

Tarling just 2 seconds behind Van Aert with a bike change.

He'd have been fighting Evenepoel for Gold without that.

Gets bronze minimum if Ganna doesn't surpass him.

Getting fed up of the aerial views of Paris I want to watch the race

I'm expecting Judith Chalmers to pop up

 

[MCFC1993]

Ganna beats Tarling. No medal unless Evenpoel crashes.

Brutal puncture has not only cost him gold but a medal as well.
