      Weird, why did the Dutchman go out early? It looked on purpose.

      Is that because he had plenty of points already?

      you just eventually blow up in that race due to the stop start nature. what happened to Stewart..
      that should be his stronest race - pretty fair reflection of wher he's at

      He probably was gassed but it looked to me like he finally got boxed.
      Man you have to be skilled at positioning or you are always fighting

                  Much more aggression. I'm trying not to sound like a homer. I don't know how TKD stays in

                                      Quite difficult to follow. At times I didn't think Stewart was in it. Great result for him and the two medals tonight salvage something for the cycling programme

                                        That was awesome. Great support for him from those other two to pull off that late catch.

                                          I can’t understand (across almost all sports) how the graphic communication hasn’t moved with the technology abilities.
                                          Surely we can see running totals etc.
                                          Has been the same in lots of other sports too. You are relying on often shit commentators to follow what’s happening
