    I think they're just falling apart- 27 cameras and sometimes 7 or 8 riders on track with the early runners being so incredibly slow. No excuse for not catching any of the gold medal run though

    I've got good sound apart fromthe commentary being only on one side- seems like they've got a track mike open all the time on the other

    They've made a right mess of that sofa

    That's the problem - ambience (mostly) on left, commentary only on the right. If you're listening on anything except a laptop, with speakers more than a few inches from each other it's a complete pain in the arris.
    Especially when I know how easy it is so sort this nonsense out, and have the phone numbers of some fantastic broadcasting facilities that will undoubtedly be a fraction of the cost of these fukknuts.

    I quite like it tbh, got it on the big speakers. But I think not for everyone. It's a bit like watching the rugby on TV but with the radio commentary on

    Oh god it's pagey. "I'm so excited" So why does it sound like you're going to kill yourself? CHEER UP

    He is manic yin to pagey's melancholic yang.

    I think his was the best bit of co-commentating since Cedric Gracia spent half an hour sexually harrassing Anneke Beertens live on air.

    I think it would save time to just fill it in and stick a headstone there!

    He was still there when the next guy came down, clambering around in the woods. Part rat, part monkey :lol:

    I honestly don't think Gwin can beat Danny.

    I see he's shaved off his terrible beard too, that's good. Couldn't have stood for a gold medalist with that facial hair.

    Now let's see what happens

    Ahhhhhh! That was going to be something else I think... What a run. Shame to end that way but well deserved.

    15 euros well spent :D

    Amazing, I can't believe he completely annihilated the competition, BY ELEVEN SECONDS! and still managed to fit in a massive whip!
    Incredible! :D

    I'm WIRED!
    Been sat here feeling a bit "meh" all day, but after watching that win, I'm absolutely fired up.
    Going to go for a 4 mile run, then catch up with the MotoGP I think.

    So good to have a British world champion again, and even better that he destroyed the others in such monu-fucking-mental style!
    11.69 second gap to 2nd place!

    WOW!

    This win will be talked about for years to come. All hail Danny Hart!

    It's the way he did it... Not just by doing the same thing as everyone else but better, but knocking off those mental lines that nobody else even considered, and still throwing that demented whip at the end. That's proper champion stuff.

    Having said that, I'd still have lol'd if he'd landed it wrong and crashed within sight of the finish line.

    Oh for sure, we're British after all (yes, even the Scots and the Welsh :lol: ), we do so love to see someone make a tit of themselves :lol:

    But the fact he pulled it off so convincingly is incredible.

    God I feel absolutely wankered. That was harder work than actually racing :lol:

    And gentlemen in England now a-bed
    Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That paid their 15 euros
