    It's the winning move from Jack Bauer I think,

    Television has taught me that something bad always happens to Jack Bauer at five minutes to the hour.

    So he'll be caught in ten minutes.

    It's on the red button option 1 in the commonwealth games part.

    Nope, I've just got hockey on BBC2 or boxing on the red button.

    HAZEL YOU JACKASS!! What is the point of the red button if you're going to show boxing on BBC2 and on the red button.

    It's on the BBC website, if you want an alternative.

    Rowe just needs to sit in now and save energy, they jump with a couple of km to go, having someone off the front might actually suit Cav as well

    Not sure how long to go but Bauer must have a real chance here. Somebody has to go from that chase group....maybe Millar if he has the legs?

    yay, the race face is on.

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Cav looks really motivated for this, got himself back into the group. Will he be able to Mark the attacks and still win a sprint now though?

    Good race!

    Good effort by Cav there. The rest of them are idiots.

    Can't believe they dropped Cav then sat up and let him get back on!

    Davis goes now!

    Are the tactics a little different in a race like this in that silver and bronze actually mean something even if they don't get gold?

    Group has split, Cav looks finished.

    McCann Roulston Millar Sutton in front.

    Millar trying to ride them of his wheel, can't get a gap though.

    Well yes, but a silver or bronze on the medal table for IoM looks quite good too. What I mean is that riders may look like they're doing work which may bring Cavendish back into the race, it means that if Cav can still sprint (i.e. he's not too knackered) and takes gold, then at least they're in with a shout of a medal.

    Where as in normal races they'd probably just sit up rather than tow Cav to the line.
