Olympic Men's Road Race... SEVENTH THREAD!

...on the number of threads for this race?

or was that Drew’s spread for my beer count…

fireworks starting soon

$1 million fake dollars to someone that could give me a synopsis of what’s going

or waiting for his fork to snap?

uran, others

FYI

He’s dropped off the leading group now.

Ruslan Podgornyy (Ukraine)
Aleksandr Kuschynski (Belarus)
Thomas Lövkvist (Sweden)
Rigoberto Uran (Colombia)
Johan Van Summeren (Belgium)

... Clement?

Imposing.

riders popping off the back

break caught

“The TdF winner is hauling ass to catch you” That sure helps morale.

White jersey, not that that helps any

still hanging tough

lance?

...Its matches a lap too early.

a free ride

... look totally crushed…

...then report to that gray building, immediately!

starts now

confirming someone’s drive-thru order.

... riding straight into my heart

love that little man

once again confusing Sastre and Contador

...and wonder why they pushed it so hard on this lap when they should have waited about a half-lap longer to get things going.

...barely hanging on at the back.

they were scary there!!!

and the Accounting getting out of the saddle and HAMMERING it… god that’s beautiful to watch… going so fast he’s actually dropping his own team…

where the big guns tried it last lap – thats what they are setting up

It’s Cancellara, not Canellara – there’s a second C in there you twit!

I hope they are happy

... Contador is done with the Road Race… and the Spaniards sit up like it’s the parade in…

wtf?

...Appears to be down to about 30 riders.

cance let soreson go there?

Not a huge lead, though.

I had been impressed with how you’d done up to now, but see THIS is what happens when you only arrive the day before the race – you get knackered

...there’s a fixed camera to give us a shot of the uphill sprint to the finish next time.

I hope he doesn’t waste alot of time looking and waiting for someone else to make a move.

waving goodbye… soft pedalling… surprised he hasn’t joined Kroon and the other guy in Psych 101

pressure on the front

don’t have people picking up the bottles etc from the road considering the race is going round and round on the same loop – there’s stuff all over the place!

We could see Cancellara unleash holy hell in a minute.

I mean water vapor is getting thick

I think they were just trying to keep it together for VV. Now they have to be able to reel in the Italian onslaught.

groaaaannnnn

the aussies have done nothing – must be fresh

...but is it Botero?

...after his free rides on the team car.

being so charming, i’d be long asleep … i do like their UFO chase/map though

...about 25 times and this is the first time I have understood it.

... these dudes better hurry it up.

...still tail-gunning at the back for Ireland.

Awesome palms up under the cables aero.

Megabeth has wrested control of Mark’s laptop. 4:47 baybee. Took a powernap….I’m back!

bell!!

...when this thing is over?

One lap to go.

Praise the Lord!

PopUp you still here with me in the Midwest? Anyone else?

Cadel, Rebellin are there

Are Valv and Bettini in there with Sorensen and Cattle?

...and go about right now… might just make it, with so few teammates to help with the chase.

PLEASE GRAB YOUR BEVERAGES AND HEAD ON OVER

That’s okay, he’s got plenty of TV time

Rebellin, CVV, Sanchez, some other dudes ….
