The coverage was total sh1te.
VERY LUCKILY the womens race* was very unchaotic, so we could follow it even with the sound turned off (what, turn off Hugh Porter? Good grief!)
But the mens was a joke. Having Cancellara, Gilbert et al in the break without getting a mention ... we need a bigger
smiley.
I don't know why I persist with wathcing BBC road coverage - it's always rubbish. Beijing was rubbish even with better data from the hosts. Hugh Porter is rubbish - in fact he's not much help in the track coverage. Surely he's old enough to be pensioned off? please?

*The 3 in the break may differ - I don't think they got a single blackboard with their gap on it, despite being away for what, an hour?
