Ride London Classics - womens' & mens' (Spoilers)

[Mad Doug Biker]

Typical BBC, they have switched from the red button to BBC 1 and...... Instead of contnuing, we have had about 20 minutes of the usual guff and talking heads.

GET ON WITH IT, WE DON'T CARE!! (Well, I don't).

Oh and Eurosport are showing Snooker.

Shock horror..... There it is!!

Honestly, the Peleton could have been eaten by a giant mutant dog with diareheoa and we would never have known!

What are the chances that coverage will end before the race is over because of the delay?

I timed that well, went out for a run and came back to Brian Smith saying "here we are with the first of the live pictures..."

Hopefully they'd extend, there would be an uproar if they didn't.

If I knew that coverage was going to stop I could ride up to the Embankment and watch them pass but I wanted to see the finish. If I knew that the BBC were in the mood for rescheduling I could set the recorder and watch the finish on my return. But I can only record one channel at a time so I'll miss it if they bounce it over to the Red Button. The expected finish, working at 42kph average was 18:10 and they've had a delay of around 20 minutes so it's getting pretty tight.

Splits the peloton and gives them options.

Indeed, Sky's tactics are definitely evolving!
