alistair Isn’t it? That tech is already made it’s way to road bikes - obviously a vastly toned down version, but definitely wider forks and seat stays.

Is that a bike or a pair of sunglasses?

Along_the_Wire

Old-Dutch It does make me laugh, you aren’t allowed to race on two disc wheels due to instability isssues. FEWMIN!

Self funded to a gold, does she get reimbursed by team GB?

Amps fucking shambles isn’t it, yet they would fund some toff to do modern pentathlon I bet

Doesn’t the lottery sort all that? Or is that just being rinsed privately nowadays?

Lack of stunt-nuts is disconcerting

ScottBailey

If the sprint event in the velodrome was done on a BMX, whilst giving someone a backie on the stunt pegs, I’d watch!

Dubman

I was also slightly peeved they didn’t do any 360’s & multiple tail whips. Fucking amateurs.

Dubman

Agreed. Love how they give all the events reset fancy names when they could easily be…

‘Some blokes / birds on a bike ride doing nowt interesting’
‘Some blokes / birds on a longer bike ride doing nowt interesting’
And so on..

There’s a local jakey who rides round one-handed drinking cans of Stella and smoking biftas, definitely needs turning into an endurance type event with compulsory consumption / mile

Millsy

Disappointed at the lack of spokey dokeys

All that money spent on the Rowing team & they hardly win anything then along comes Bethany with no sponsorship and wins the gold medal. Hope she turns pro and rakes it in.

Mad_Cyril

So they divert to best perceived chance of winning?

Should be celebrating her giving 2 digits to the system rather than bemoaning how hard done to shes been?

Smallman1

The lad who won silver was from South London, where all the best come from!
