56 seconds, shit it's all over for cav.

[BR_54 15]

Thought they were doing perfectly. Happened!?

[Bakoni 28]

Not going to happen for Cav now.

Unbelievable, in this day and age, that there has been so little time check information.

[caseyjones 3,009]

Those two are gone now. Vino to win the sprint.

[wearethepeople1 3,897]

WTF??

Fucked up big time

[caseyjones 3,009]

Uran fucked that up. Anti-climax.

[Skol 401]

Don't understand how someone else can 'take the workload'? Surely each cyclist just cycles to the optimum they feel they should? Irrelevant of how fast the other guys are going

No that's what makes cycling so interesting. If a rider just heads out on a breakaway by himself he will be able to sustain it for a short period.

However, the energy you save from being part of the peloton (main group) means they will catch you. So the riders try to conserve some energy and save themselves for later. A breakaway group will be more efficient than a lone rider but still less than the peloton. It's very tactical.

Today GB got it wrong unfortunately.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Can't let it take away from the very good start Team GB has made in rowing and swimming - hopeful we'll see a medal tonight.

Beach Volleyball

That's an impressive set-up at Dornay Lake. 30,000 sell-out at 9am for the heats too.

[caseyjones 3,009]

Today GB got it wrong unfortunately.

To a certain extent, they did, however, controlling the whole field on their own was always going to be extremely difficult. They needed help from some other nations. Germany appear to have taken the attitude that they would rather not get a medal than help to bring about a bunch sprint.

Beach Volleyball

They 2 birds that won were amazing

Shorts riding right up there arses

[Jelavic191 4,368]

I'm not sure if Team GBs woman's team is quite good or Cameroon are just shite

[Shetland 76]

I'm not sure if Team GBs woman's team is quite good or Cameroon are just shite

At least we can be happy with the fact no matter how bad it gets, the quality of football we watch will never be this shite

[Clemdog 39,389]

Gutted for Cav but not too surprised.

Raging I missed it!

Gymnastics as well, looking promising

[Gaz52 11,837]

Jill Scott looks like she's got a bigger cock than everycunt on here put together

[Clemdog 39,389]

Phelps VS. Lochte

I'm backing Lochte, but want Phelps to do it.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Empty seats all over the place

[BigChap 15]

I'm watching the woman's fencing, really good to watch.

[Clemdog 39,389]

I really hope we see vintage Phelps.

[caseyjones 3,009]

Lochte has pissed this already.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Lochte opening up.

Would be good if he could get the WR!

[Clemdog 39,389]

Phelps

[caseyjones 3,009]

Phelps unplaced. Sad to see.
