A lot of it won't be them commentating (though presumably it will be for men's road).
Just watched a little bit of women's track qualifiers (Japan)... One on a bike setup that puts drivetrain on the other side of the bike... wtf is that about?
e2a: ah very different setup with forks bit like the Hope-Lotus. Olympics testing I guess.

It’s just absurd how fast they’re going up there

I don't know what the problem was, he doesn't need his front mech anyway if he can stamp up that in the big ringIt’s just absurd how fast they’re going up there

Elite Men Team lineup
Both Belgium & Netherlands look strong but could that work unfavorably for them.

Yeah, I know - just a play on the puppy paws aero position.

I have just caught some of this on someone else's log in. It's crap seeing Armstrong being given air time.

Watching the women's junior road race and getting quite excited for tomorrow now. Am going over to Glasgow for the day because we've got tickets for the BMX park semifinal, but will try and watch some laps from Montrose Street (if we can get a space!)

This lap is brutal. So many tight corners and short sharp climbs. Will suit the cyclocross riders who are used to these sort of repeated explosive efforts, rather than the diesel engines more used to riding at a constant high tempo.

Ferguson should have just gone. Wasted a lot of energy getting frustrated.

Could she though? There would have been a French rider sitting on

I think it showed how the men’s race will go - the lap is so tight and twisty that the difference of being in the bunch compared to out solo is a lot less than usual.
Anyone that can get a good gap with 2 or 3 laps to go is going to be very hard to pull back, even more so if it end ups wet. A rider like Dylan van Baarle who isn’t going to be quite as marked as the big three could easily pull it off.
