NZ's time would have been a WR too.

The same thing happened last night when NZ were chasing Italy's time.

Great race!

WillieTheWaiter

so close to perfection.

bloody sport.

WillieTheWaiter

WHAT THE FUUUUUCK!

Rapido

You fucking Danish retards!!!!

KiwiMurph

Hahahahah GB Bradbury their way into a gold medal ride (well.... different to Bradbury... but still)

WillieTheWaiter

that is one of the most mental things i've ever seen in sport!

and you fucked my multi you tards!

Rapido

Now we get a fucking strong team in the bronze race, instead of the GBR rabble.

Surely we're not going to end up riding against the fucking Danes for a Bronze?

Get off your bikes you British arses.

WillieTheWaiter

and herein lies the issue kids with the latest aero position that the riders are using now not looking where you're going

Toddy

Did Britain plan that like Bradbury did? Knew they had no chance to win so left a rider to hang back in the hope the Danes rode into the back of him?

I don't think so cause they haven't posted a time - bronze is just 1st 2 from the 'others' outside silver and gold.

Crucial

How the fuck does that work? You crawl across the line in a slow time but make the final?

mikedogz

my understanding is that we have to get top two best time amongst the the other six that aren't in the final. Danish would not have posted a time with only two finishing.

That's what they'll be telling some suckers in a decades time who have paid to hear them in an after dinner speech.

Go Italy!

Commentators were saying the Brit who peeled off had kept riding, while the weakest Dane stopped. That happened - though these two commentators seem particularly clueless, so I doubt they're much of a source.

I don't suppose the re-ride rule that gave the Aussies a second chance applies when they're racing?

based on what they were saying a while back the crash thing only applies to an equipment failure rather than rider error so they're fucked.

guttttttttttttttts I can't believe we've just missed out on an easy cycling gold by the blink of an eye

What the hell was the Danish rider looking at? That's mental. The British rider should be made to give way
