kosmonooit Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Didn't go Lizzies way ... her comment on the weather ???? "It’s also because the race was so hot and humid that all the moves were a bit blunted. There wasn’t that same spark. Everyone knew that if they went into the red they’d never come back from it in this kind of weather. It was a defensive race but still really hard." https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/deignan-frustrated-with-weird-agendas-in-olympic-road-race/

Same happened in ladies race today so they had to rely on water from neutral service (not cold and no food) and the feedzone that was situated after 70 odd km's The team car was following him. ????

DieselnDust Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Folks let's clear up the DNF. Both Nic and Ryan completed the course. There is a rule in the ioc road race rule book that states the commisaire can pull any rider who is more than 12 min behind the main peloton. Both Nic and Ryan were way behind but within 12 min of the peloton when they and a whole group of others were pulled over at the last feed zone and held for 15min before being told to proceed. The commisaire also called the cut off at the finish line at 20min. They both crossed the finish line but out side time limits. As for the feeding error I don't know what happened there but Nic did ignore the offer of a bottle so I'm not sure it's all CSA fault. Something about taking a horse to water. Would he have lasted longer if he had eaten more and hydrated more? Maybe I don't have access to his files. However thus far not one of the riders has openly complained about CSA. Surely someone would have tweeted instagrammed. Let's not flog the horses just yet. Realistically none of our boys had a chance of getting a medal but then this bloody Anna mathamagician tears up the form, rule, pundit, script and all books even maths text books so ya... dsw and NGM 2

dsw Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 "Now I‘m old, I’m 30, and I started to realise that all those people who say they know, they actually don’t know. Many of them don’t know, and especially those who say that they know, don’t know, because those who do know say that they don’t know." - Anna Kiesenhofer, Olympic gold medal winner.
