    @machpants I don't understand this reaction. One rider was just very unlucky in this race, while they were ahead. Why would you want their funding cut ?

    Unlucky?

    To quote Stuart O'Grady on Ch7 this morning: one golden rule of cycling ... watch where you're going.

        Switching to athletics. Some great events coming up.

        Looking forward to watching Sifan Hasan run the 1500m (semi-final, at 10.12pm).

                    Off tangent comment maybe. Maybe for the #GOM thread. Maybe just being nostalgic. Maybe uber patriotic.

                    But just watching 2nd chicks 1500m semi.

                    Glancing across the screen showing the starters ... just checking if a Kiwi is involved ... scan quickly ... nup, no black singlet.

                    Then it occurs to me that EVERY other country has to look twice for their colours, as some other country has a strip similar to someone else's.

                    Love the black singlet.

                    (Hence #GOM ... where black people, not white ... )

                          Kipyegon looked very good so that will be one hell of a final.
