Why wasn't the camera side on?
|
|
By:
she should have kicked on earlier terrible tactics.
|
|
By:
Vos too strong in the end. Armistead out thought in the last 1000 mtrs
|
|
By:
Made 50p, enjoyed it...
 |
|
By:
Armistead needed to take first run to have any chance in the sprint
|
|
By:
If you don't go past you're always playing catch up . After yesterday not sure about the tactics of the Brits.
|
|
By:
looked more convincing win from overhead camera
|
|
By:
Lizzie had nowt left, legs of jelly in the sprint but did well overall.
|
|
By:
Just watched the replay agaon of the last few metres. WHy didn't Armi kick on first? Stupid girl
|
|
By:
rob with the 50p get a timer m8 and send it to the comms from a charity shop.
 |
|
By:
As i said go earlier.
|

|
|
By:
At least we have a medal on the board!
|
|
By:
fair play on the silver, she had a lovely smile.
 |
|
By:
Great race, congrats girl. Fantastic crowd, will inspire plenty to get out in the rain.
|
|
By:
Larrence - cycling been let down with the comms for both races, surely the tech guys can sort this out, probably not the comms fault, don't get why riders and speeds can't be displayed all the time during races?
|
|
By:
any disappointment on the mall that it wasnt lizzie, what stupid question,
|
|
By:
No comms at all now!
|
|
By:
totally agree rob, it could only happen in england. Shambles.
|
|
By:
Might use the radio for sound in the time trial. Five live getting texts congratulating them on comms.
|
|
By:
cheers all, enjoyed the race. gl all.....

Lizzie did everything right. I thought her tactics were spot on at the end against a girl who is generally faster in the gallop. Just didn't have the legs to come round but a great ride.
The armchair sprinters on here make you laugh. Obviously know nothing about the sport and have never been in a gallop in their life. |
|
By:
Correct bix. For the benefit of the armchair jockeys who seem to have got lost you have just been watching Frankel beat Canford Cliffs
|
|
By:
us armchair sprinters would have got our sofas with wheels and stabilizers on and sped away alot earlier.
|
|
By:
knowing mu luck the sofa cushion would have got stuck in my wheel.

She could have offered the Russian money to push Marianne into the barriers
|

By:
Riders aren't machines, racing for most of the last 100k in poor conditions will drain the best, why not give it a try some time?

I would say that with hindsight there was no way lizzie would have beaten Vos today. She did everything right. Dodged a few turns in the last few Ks and then let Vos lead out and tried to come off her wheel. Vos did it the hard way by leading out and was still strong enough to win easily. If Lizzie had led out Vos would certainly been able to come round her before the line. It's a bit like telling all the blokes beaten by Cav that they would have won if they'd done something differently. |
|
By:
She just failed to pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
 |
|
By:
bix and Moose
Both correct. Vos was just stronger towards the end. Nothing Armitstead could have done. |
|
By:
correct.
Strongest rider won the race. |
|
By:
Not knocking her, great effort in those conditions.. Just would of liked her take the sprint to Vos.. But as Vos took a tow and whizzed past her, everyone would have said why didn't she wait!! GoBallistic is spot on..
