@crucial some hesitancy crossing the start/finish line there. Is that because it's better to sit 2nd/3rd rather than do all the work and make a late move for the gold?
He seems to be taking longer at the pits and happy to just stay in touch.

Fuckin unreal Cooper is up the front these guys are the massive superstars of the sport.
Commentators are annoying talking like Pidcock is some sort of newcomer and wasn't always going to destroy this field -
What a ride by young Pidcock!
Feel Cooper and Schurter have left the door open to other riders here.

Went for a walk with the other half for a couple of hundred metres before we noticed it was happy hour at the local. We popped in and caught some of the air pistol shooting. As she rightly pointed out these guys were not athletes and how the fuck is this actually a sport ? I disagreed with the latter point, I mean having a steady hand and shooting takes hand eye co ordination and precision so I think it is a sport……just
We did both agree that watching the fence we had painted that day drying would have been more of a spectacle though.
Shooting has been in the Olympics for ages. I guess it is the pinnacle for a sport that people rarely see. Terrible telly but I'm okay with it being in
The technology that the rifles/pistols appear to have is pretty OTT though.
Like you I can’t disagree with it being there on merits as a sport however tenuous……
All those guides they wear seem to make it difficult not to just pull the trigger. I'm sure it is much harder than it appears. Olympic paintball would be more exciting
Now I would watch that
