That's just pro cycling, the other teams don't want to help bring Cav to the finish just so he can win. Risky strategy though, cos 4 guys were never goingto be able to bring the break back on their own and that means the other teams who don't have someone in the break are just giving up the chance to win. Sad though, I so wanted itto come back together for a mass sprint :-(

That's a shame. Hope we get our revenge in the time trial.

They pass so quickly. By the time you pick out the jersey's of the riders they're gone!

I would love to know why there were so many empty seats at the swimming session this morning :-(

Little Nemo - slow-but-steady
Sad for Cav as I really wanted him to get a medal, but once a team has someone in the breakaway group they are never going to help the Peleton reel them back in. The GB riders looked broken at the end :-(

But you have to say well done to Vinokourov he took his chance well and rode brilliantly :-)

Today I have seen tennis, archery, swimming, cycling and fencing - I'm bloody exhausted just watching it on the TV ;-)

I know the Olympics is supposed to inspire people to do sport, but I have missed my run and sat in the sofa watching tv instead :-)
