    For a second I didn't think Kisenhofer was actually going to stop. Great ride.

    AaV gets silver. Given her early counter attack, its quite impressive she had the legs for that.

    That's what I was thinking, she celebrated like she'd won

    Avv thinks she’s won it

    She looked very happy, then very unhappy. No radios....

  • Stoney faced when they cut back to her after she'd been told, awkward.

    I know it's playing poker and they are all tired but I do sometimes think these late attacks get away a little too easily.

    Lantern called it at the time the Dutch were riding like didn’t know the Austrian was up the road.

    That’s what they’re saying to their coach there

    Just 1'20" back to silver in the end. If they'd been working properly even from 10km out I think the Dutch could have won that.

    She did go from overjoyed to not particularly happy quite quickly.

    Even Lizzie D in her post race interview thought AVV had won!
  • I've seen someone say Van der Breggen was talking about being given a timegap of 1:35 when it was out at 4 minutes

    Definitely did despite what Boardman was saying. Lizzie seemed to think she won too and it was clear they weren't getting any information.

    You'd think the team staff could shout up gaps - were they clear on TV coverage? I only saw last 15k

    Well after watching the men's yesterday, and another doomed Worlds/Olympics early break, I did wonder why do they bother? When does it ever work?

    And of course, it just has......though I think lack of race radios/information helped as well.

    If you can't count to three minus two you need more than radios

    GB guaranteed a gold or silver in Taekwondo. I've finally worked the sport out - the first 2 rounds are about avoiding each other so skip them and just watch the third where all the action happens

    It's all just maths, innit?

    Peloton: So that's three riders up the road, and we've caught two of them, and er, carry the one, right? So that's ten remaining from the five in the break, and... Hang on, I think I've got that wrong. Anyone able to take their hands off the bars and use their fingers? We probably ought to get this right AND ANNEMIEK WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?

    If Kiesenhofer went up the road at the off, and they didn’t see her again… where did they think she went?

    Maybe if she’d been a perceived bigger threat, she might have got more attention.
