2016 Olympic Road Races and Time Trials *Spoilers*

Just running through the teams now - Colombia have got a strong team, am sure they'll be pretty motivated...

 

[smutchin]

Wonder how many will actually finish the race today. Considerably less than 50%, I'd imagine.

 

[smutchin]

Dan from Nam on the front!

 

[Buddfox]

Glad we get to see the first hour, very rare with other races, will get to see the chaos...

 

[Buddfox]

Tom Dumoulin done... shocker!

Looks like Pantano trying to get in the break.

Dumoulin abandoning already by the look of it.

Tom Dumoulin has stopped.

Oi, Brotherton, 'Best beard in the peloton' comment was for Dan Craven, not Geschke!

 

[Buddfox]

I have some sympathies for the commentators today - admittedly I've not done any preparation, but rider identification is harder when they're not wearing their team jerseys. Helpfully, Adam Yates appears to be wearing his Orica helmet so he's easily identifiable.

Tom Dumoulin has stopped.

Tom Stop 'ard luck.

Valverde has his Catlike hat but it's in white rather than team colours.

Albasini, Kwiatkowski and Pants in the break. Three outsiders for the win effectively ruling themselves out by going this early.

Top group of GC riders up front

I'm sure we'll see more than one rider end up in those gutters before the end!

 

[Buddfox]

It's quite a strong group but I can't seem them staying away for over 200km

 

[coffeejo]

I spy a sticky car door!
