Rio

[AtiaoftheJulii]

Don't really have anything to say about it yet, but just wanted to share this photo!

Sorry, should have refreshed first.

thanks Felicity. I reckon people re-tweeting the fall have never ridden a bike, or came off one, and have no brains at all.

Looks like she'll be OK. I honestly thought the worst for a while there.

yes it was the lack of movement even once Abbott went past her and the angle of her head.

She's an ORICA-AIS team mate of Gracie E. She normally gets on tw or her site after races, but nothing at all.

Thanks for the comprehensiveness Felicity!

As I said, they could make it all the more tricky by giving us wet roads...

dd has a slightly unusual 'continental' name and no interest in bike riding. I pointed out to her that two of the women riders today share her name.

Remained unimpressed and unmotivated...

Hmm, looks like the weather might play a part. Shame but that's bike racing I suppose.

yeah they don't race in a lab do they?

as we may know van Vleuten is out of hospital and in a hotel awaiting return home. Just so lucky/unlucky.

Ooh, Ellen van Dijk misses a corner luckily she's quickly back on the bike.

She was doing a Froomey wasn't she, checking something on her bars.

A lapse of attention for sure, probably has cost her a medal.

oh and it has. Poor her. Tearful.

Gotta love Dan Craven, rolled up on a road bike complete with hipster beard and glasses.

Yessss!

Yay!!! Fantastic result!!!

Yay!

Love Dan Craven

Really impressed by the women's time trial winner!

And very happy about the men's

And it's time to come inside ...

One benefit of a velodrome is that there is no wildlife www.golfdigest.com/story/capybaras-wildlife-become-stars-of-the-olympic-golf-course

Capybaras are my favourite animal. I'd even be tempted to take up golf.

Exciting night so far! Wow

Steady on Endo

Interesting trousers. Nothing wrong with interesting trousers, it's the hitting the little balls with the stick that I don't really understand. Perhaps I could just go and play with the capybara instead.

Sorry this post has nothing to do with cycling. I did watch some of the going-round-and-round-the-track-really-fast last night but can't get as interested in that as the road racing.

OMG that is too cute. If I had a lake in the back garden I would have some as pets

Dh was telling me that he's read that there is tension in the camp between Cav and Sir Wiggins.

Apparently Cav left the Tour early so that he could work with the pursuit team with a view to cycling in the early round(s) so that he could share in the medals but Sir Bradley chose who was allowed to cycle in "his" team

I'd already commented to dh when they were doing the VT about the team pursuit that I felt that there was a lot degree of arrogance in the way that SirBradley talked about "my" team
