I've tired of the handball because there are no commentators. Shows how much we need them after all.

they could have say 5 racers per team, and your team's position is determined by the position in the race of your first rider ?

Funky goal music

4.35 is a catchable time, but having 12 riders is far from ideal particularly when it contains Nibali, who was third in the TDF, behind Wiggo and Froome.

Try the Jim Nastics awesome

TDF?

Tour De France

im enjoying the cycling. just thing that everyone should be trying to get themselves a medal. aint seen wiggins yet.

I want to watch the table tennis, especially the Asian folks - you don't even see the ball when they hit it

Shame about the badminton, and Phelps only just snuck into the finals of the swimming! C-, must try harder...

It's 5:50 difference!

Table Tennis is the only sport I'm good at. Having played it myself on a regular basis, it's truly amazing to watch the professionals.

Nibali is a also very good on the descent too, better than the GB riders in that regard. They the peloton really need to put the hammer down.

John Copley, the Brit who won Silver is I believe the oldest ever Olympic medal winner.

This is a toss of a coin now.

tails.

nibali cant leave the breakaway,so his descending wont play

it's hardly like they're coming down the back of alp duez is it ?

why cant nibali leave the breakaway though ? theres going to be a strgoner sprineter than him in there isnt there. would have thought he'd try to make a move on the little hill on one of the laps ?

Do they just do Box Hill the once?

i think they said it's on a circuit. go round it a few times i think.

from BBC
This is becoming a bit of a worry for Mark Cavendish and his British team-mates, although there is still around 170km and about four hours of racing to go. The gap to the escapees is almost six minutes now, as the men at the front of the bunch start the first of their nine ascents of Box Hill, where there are huge crowds waiting on the side of a very narrow road.

Lots of different nationalities are represented in the front 12 riders, so the British men are largely being left to do the chasing on their own at the front of the peloton, although they are being helped a bit by Team Sky's Austrian rider Bernhard Eisel.

No nine times I think

i think they do it 9 times equivalent to the gailbier,thats what i think they said

Just started watching, have I missed anything good?

"four hours of racing"
===============



fks sake

Was just looking at the map. They really need to be careful with the break-away. Very far from ideal, would like to know how fast the Peloton are going at the moment.
