I have just caught up on the last few pages.

I feel like I am really missing out not being able to watch this stuff.

Why the restart though?
Surely if you ****up, you reap the consequences?

it was the bike rather than him init

[ChesterDave]

Pendleton and Varnish both hae hte same logo painted on each nail. How girly despite being primed athletes

yes but then surely that guy's chain yesterday who snapped should be able to start again to?

in the time trial? I didnt see it but I imagine its a bit harder to restart in an hours race rather than a 30 second one?

[ChesterDave]

Women could be in trouble here. Possible DQ

[Chazza]

China are going to win it

[Liverpool]

Yeah, but the country's teams are responsible for their bikes surely?
Don't understand that but then I've no idea of the sport, but it seems ropey to me.

[ChesterDave]

I would think though, the longer it goes on the better. It must be so increadibly tight that if they cant see it clearly surely they can not DQ.

With the road race they are staggered so they would have to be bumped to the end or the next rider would have the possible advantage of a target to aim for being nearer to them.

[red g]

Surely they should give home team advantage

[ChesterDave]

Sounds like they have dodged a bullet

or maybe not

[Liverpool]
