what? i'm just commenting on the jolly fat guy whose always at the races - guess he always has a lot to smile about

 

[badlands]

Amazing.

We're gonna own that velodrome!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Just put the BBC feed on - but I can't have the sound turned up while at work Sprint final is at 11.40 I think?

 

[ScallyWag II]

Beat the French by 1/2 a second That's incredible!

Brad Wiggins goes in heat 9 of the pursuit.

Same here, bloody annoying innit

 

[chintz]

Steve Burkes go

Fucking BBC - they've stopped cycling coverage (it's not even on Freeview)

I want to watch it all not just when Brits ride

Now I've got a choice of a couple of women groping each other (in pyjamas), another pair hitting balls at each other and some people in a boat

 

[Melinda]

Its not even on the Sky multiscreen. We have a choice of 6 sports at any one time, but not one of them is cycling.

I thinks its coming up shortly.

 

[Juice Terry]

The BBC coverage has been shit so far, I watched the highlights show last night and it was half an hour of Gabby Logan sucking up to Michael Johnson, ANOTHER elongated Michael Phelps worshipping session and about 5 minutes left for the rest of the days action. Rubbish.

 

[ScallyWag II]

Steve Burkes go

9 seconds off his PB

Not even on the interactive thingy? That's poor

Yeah very poor. On BBC1 they are talking to a boatguy and on Freeview there's tennis, day 7 news and athletics highlights.

Back on now as I speak. But for how long?

 

[ScallyWag II]

It's on the live feed on beeb sport site if that's any help

That's even more shit than the BBC after all the fuss Sky made about sponsoring British Cycling the other week. Maybe they're not interested if their logo isn't there?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Yep - am currently watching it. But without the bloody sound on I donl;t know who it is

 

[ScallyWag II]

Wiggins up next. G'luck BW!

 

[butchersapron]

New OR!

 

[chintz]

yeah new record (Olympic)

nice ride

 

[ScallyWag II]

Great ride, Wiggins looked so smooth!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Fantastic from Bradley. Wow!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Great ride, Wiggins looked so smooth!

Yep - loved the way he crept - well crept is not really the right word, he rocketed really! - faster and faster like a spring being wound up.

 

[butchersapron]

Fastes for the team sprint. Final vs France.

 

[twistedAM]

ha ha - the best the Aussies can do in the team sprint is bronze - Go Germany!!!

 

[ScallyWag II]

Being in work for this is doing my head in. Seems like every fucker wants to stand behind my desk. I've never seen so much fucking traffic

Anyway, jsut managed to watch the sprint, looking good!

 

[butchersapron]

Two fastest qualifiers in womens pursuit. Great stuff so far today.

 

[chintz]
