    Mikkel Bjerg 8th best at 2nd at +55.53 down

    He's not going to be happy with this, he gave up the Tour for it

    Can someone tell Boardman that Tarling lost time to WvA in the second section, not gained

    Amazing that this event used to be style and panache.

    Remco smashing it. 12 secs up


    Ganna almost stacks it due to his power

    Great save by Ganna.

    2 seconds down with a bike change.

    Feels like Wout maybe didn’t give it everything at the Tour.

    Useless coverage. Had more time on the heli shots than the riders.

    Ganna 10.7 seconds better

    Do the BBC commentators not understand the time checks or something?

    Ganna put some power into the road that last section, goes 10" fastest

    Great architecture shots, of the race, not so much.

    Wonder if they'll switch the video to architecture during the men's 100m finals? Muppets! 👿

    Shame for Tarling.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Gutted for Josh. Absolutely gutted. I don’t think he beats Remco without the puncture but it’s possible. He certainly would have got 2nd I think.

    At least Tarling will know he was unlikely to have won gold but lost a medal.

    Such a shame for Tarling, it would have been very close.

    Great rides by all the top 4, and congrats Remco!

    Poor lad, but he'll have opportunities to come
