Olympic TT
So who you got?
Seems like an easy-to-tier event, which means I'll be completely wrong, but if I'm making tiers for the race it looks something like this:
Tier 1: Wiggins
Tier 2: Martin, Cancellara (depends on how close he is to 100%), Froome
Tier 3: Chavanel, Pinotti, Sanchez
Tier 4: Fuglsang, van Garderen (is he in the race?), Phinney, Larsson, Westra, Grabsch, Kwiatkowski (is he in the race?)
Everybody else. OK, I probably missed a couple guys... looked at this in a hurry. So who'd I miss? Or who do I have completely wrong.

he might need to puncture twice more before he slips past Akdylek's time... but yeah, horrible luck.
What was Akdylek's time? Sanchez is just rolling along and Martin has just caught him
Good news - I dropped LL Sanchez!
Bad news - I picked Kwiatowski and he's not racing!!
Akdylek was 59 min and something. It could be a battle
Well he's just been spat out by Martin who was 3/4 minutes behind to start.....so could be over 50 minutes at that rate
Argh, why didn't I listen and keep Castroviejo in
Looks like it will be, Wiggo, Martin, Froome
Sanchez may be the last rider on the course haha
Sanchez WILL be last, He's just been past by Wiggo
Looking ok for my team, most will score, Sanchez will be last but where in my Iranian?
I'd be feeling much better about Sanchez finishing last if I didn't have Akdylek too... hehe
Is there a cut-off time in the TT?
ARGH, Rogers and Castroviejo were guys I was going to have, but though, nah Sanchez and Brajkovic are better bet than Rogers and Westra or Phinney would have Castroviejo
Tomorrow morning when they open the roads again
I don't think there is a time out though
Martin has almost caught Phinney
ROAD CYCLING
Strange scenes at the finish line. Michael Rogers is sitting in one of those ridiculous golden thrones, while Chris Froome rides off with a bag on his back, looking like he is about to start his commute home.
Still out on the road, Tony Martin is about to catch Taylor Phinney as they approach the line. All eyes on his time now...
Sanchez comes home before Canc
But Sanchez was still over 2 minutes faster than Akdylek haha
Phinney with two 4th place rides. Ugh.
Poor Phinney, fourth in the road race, fourth in the TT. You've got to feel for him.
3 riders not scoring for me Sanchez, Navardauskas and Haghi
I only had 4 scorers, wiggins, froome, phinney and grabsch
Only two non-scorers but I suspect the winner will probably have Wiggins, Martin, Froome and Rogers plus a few others.
And Phinney if you sorted out the team properly
What happened to Chavanel? Thought he was up there at the time-check or did I make that up?
I did OK, shame I missed last place by one guy.
Awesome result though!
I didnt do badly, got
1st
3rd
4th
6th
8th
9th
11th
19th
32nd....damn you chainring. Better than the 11 I scored in the road race.
Bad luck. Did you have Sanchez as well! Bad luck for him, although I don't think he would have got a medal.
My team choice was very good apart from not having Martin, but Froome still scored well. Had 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 19. LLSanchez and Bodnar didn't score. 158 I think. With Sanchez maybe 5th/6th, would have had a shot at winning the stage I reckon.
I got 166 I think with sanchez the only one not scoring so you would have been behind me, good scoring all the same.
had
1,3,4,6,8,11,19 with navardauskas and sanchez not scoring
1,3,4,6,8,9,19 but made a mistake... my the other two riders were in last night when I updated my team but they didn't ride.
Shame to see Cancellara in what looked like a lot of pain at the end... hope he recovers fully soon.
