Why do they get a spare bike? IMO if they gently caress up their bike that should be it.

I like this idea. Also two water bottles for the whole race. Less litter.

And to be a complete oval office, make them ride in the gutter as they don't pay registration. Oops!

It was a controlled explosion of a suspicious bag.

That doesn't actually happen in Brazil. Unattended bags vanish after 15-20 seconds. Attended bags too, but an accomplice must first barf on the tourists.

Virginia Thrasher sounds like the name given to a giant man-eating alligator in a cheesy horror movie.

Why the stupid motorbike weaving in and out of the cyclying traffic? I have never figured out their reason (other than the camera ones). I've seen a few either slowing down the race or nearly causing accidents so far.

Yeah it's normal, long tradition in cycle racing of fans being able to get up close, personally yell at your favorite dudes, etc. Just supposed to stay the gently caress outta the way.

Ok, so an hours long race that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars or more to put on, millions of dollars of sponsorship money and tv coverage, with racers that train for decades, can be completely nullified by a homeless Brazilian wanting to steal a nice bike?

Eh, consider that many road races can end with the guy in front of you slipping on a rock and taking you and a few dozen others with him not rarely with broken bones as a result. Some Brazilian kid trying steal your bike doesn't seem so bad.

No idea sorry - I'm in Australia watching on OTA free to air. If you maybe searched for Australia vs Colombia Rugby you might find a replay.

As of now I have two weeks off and nothing but drinking and loving about on my computer. I have 3 OTA tuners (one for each stream) in this computer so I might get my rear end into gear and 'archive' all feeds for later showing. Word is my mobile provider had an app that lets me stream any and all current events. If i can screen grab from it over my network at a good rate I might archive that too. Not now, its 4AM and I am fuckign drunk and sleep deprived.

Catching up on the opening ceremony via CBC today and holy poo poo, Peter Mansbridge isn't mad at you, Brazil, but he's very disappointed.

Edit: I mean of all the places I expected major shade to be thrown on the Olympics I did not expect the CBC. This is amazing.
