Balls, I totally missed the last hour! Hopefully I can find highlights in the bewildering maze of Olympics coverage.

Yep typical, if you want a medal ask a woman
. Way better drama, speed and excitement than the men's race.
Women's cycling deserves way more credit and respect than it is currently getting. As for those to commentators
they need a spanking (and not the nice type you give to the vicar).
Glad no one was seriously injured in those conditions.

That was wonderful. Quite how they stayed upright on those wet roads is a complete mystery to me.

Fantastic stuff by the women, even my missus was gripped by it and she has no interest in cycling normally.

Fantastic race, thoroughly gripping. Brilliant effort by Lizzie but who could have beaten Vos in that situation? Took her close though.

Congratulations Lizzie - the first GB medal !
Pooley rode a great race in support and Vos was predictably just too strong in the end, timing her sprint well.
I thought Lizzie might have got it when she tried to come round.
A good atmosphere at the Mall but again a whole set of seats with a great view practically empty.
Fewer spectators than yesterday but it was raining pretty hard today and perhaps that was the second most spectators at an Olympic event ever.

We were utterly gripped here and yelling at the TV at the finish. Great result for Lizzie!

Great race, i enjoyed it far better than the mens, pooley was superb in support, and a big well done to Lizzie.
