Yes. I have a choice of Putney, Richmond, Hampton Court or Kingston and I don't know where to go. :confused:

We're going to go to Putney Bridge as it's an easy train from us and close to the end.

I'm sure that the Team GB directors know what they're doing and that they'll make up that time after Box Hill. No use dying after three laps of that monstrosity.

How does the Road Race work?! Is it just one cyclist that needs to pass the finish line, or the whole team? I wish there was a Madison this year :frown:

Anyone know how you can get tickets to the olympic park? I've tried looking on the London ticketing website and can't find any - does that mean they're all sold out?

Road Racing is split into two events:
1) Individual Road Race - all competitors start together and race over approx 250km of public roads in the men's race, 140km in the women's race. The first over the line wins.
2) Time Trial - riders start 90 seconds apart, and the winner is the rider with the fastest time over a shorter course.

They are all sold out. A few became available again a few days ago but they sold out really quick.

Team GB of the Men's Gymnastics won their qualifying round, so we'll be in the final of the event for the first time since 1924. We even beat China!

So many douchebag spectators at the road race blocking the drivers. Some guys flag was literally in the face off one of the riders.

Was thinking that, the narrow country roads probably play a part as well. :holmes:
