Is the commentator even watching the event? s/he has made quite a few mistakes that even I with my ADD caught! Not noticing the first Russian getting reeled in, thinking a dropped chain was a flat, etc.

Pretty crappy that the course isn't well marked and the leader had to ask for directions.

Has coddling tendencies.
Someone's very confused at the playbyplay. A short while ago the leader had nearly 2 minutes lead. Now it's 1 minute. That's some quick chase work!

I pray someone puts up a YT clip of the Chinese rider going down at less than 20 miles to go. Into the ditch, upside down, unable to get out. Wow.

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.
