Olympic men's road race

[ShanRam]

These guys are seriously crashing out. Hectic stuff

['Dale]

One lap to go

 

Still wide open

 

Who has the best legs for the final 30 mins ????

[Ferro]

Would be cool if they had an indication of the speed of the descent in the frame. Not like the commentators are over elaborating on anything

['Dale]

The Italians looking very concentrated ????

[shaper]

Nibs and yates descend like deamons to join the front bunch

['Dale]

Kwia now towing a small leading bunch of maybe 10

Serving Majka, his fellow Pole

 

Where are the others?

['Dale]

Omw

Chasing the leaders is Impey, Costa, J Rod and Valverde!

 

De ja vu ????

[Gen]

Yoh.. hectic

[HappyMartin]

Daryl in a break with two Spaniards. I think he can speak Spanish. Driving hard on the front.

['Dale]

The crashes have split the main bunch

 

A dozen in front with the Italians and Poles in dominance

 

Chased by the four in the previous post

 

Then another chasing group including Spartacus and other favourites

['Dale]

Chasing the leaders will burn important matches

 

Majka, Nibs and Fuglsang in a great position.

[worriesnot]

check how Impey keeps looking back for Louis

final climb coming up... I hope Louis moves up now

['Dale]

Fabian Cancellara is trying to utilise his time trialling skills to shut down the gap. They're running out of road though.

['Dale]

28 kms to go

 

The Italians trying to stay away

Driving the leading bunch

Beautiful racing!

Don't know if it has been mentioned already, but has anyone noticed the colour changing Specializeds? The are changing colour from orange to yellow. Very cool.

['Dale]

Froome Dawg is off the back of the main group.
