Re: Olympics, who's watching ?
So people are kicking off about what they thought they saw without bothering to consider what they actually saw (or listen to the commentary)?
Quelle surprise.

It's very much a track rather than a trail.
Be interesting in the wet.
I must have blinked, Pidcock was about 12th last time I looked!

What a move! There's going to be some grumpy Frenchies

Fought back from a puncture and then looked like the French guy had the legs on him on the last lap and then that amazing overtake!!!!

Re: Olympics, who's watching ?
Awesome. If he hadn't had that wheel change he'd be home and showered by the time the second rider finished.
I expect the home team will want a stewards enquiry though.

Re: Olympics, who's watching ?
YEah was very much a 50-50, Victor just caught his back wheel on a rock which slowed him and it killed him off.. with 1km or so to go i honestly thought he had it when he went past Pidcock... But yeah that was bloody impressive.
