The BBC was lucky to get anything. Warner Bros bought all the rights to the Olympics TV and it's only shown on the BBC because the Olympics are a protected TV sport so WB have to give the terrestrial channels something
he left a gap so I had to go for it ! (more interesting analysis of tt crashes https://youtu.be/3II88TaRcwU?t=300)
Amazingly fine margins for both Richards & Peaty. I do wonder if Peaty didn't have covid, if that would have been the difference between silver & gold though.
Where’s it at? I’m assuming that was the hook up to the sand tripical beach during the opening? French bit of South America?
Haiti - not totally sure how I feel about that - if we'd done Bermuda for the London Olympics I'm pretty sure things would have been said. But it's a stunning setting and incredible to watch
Hah, sorry - typo (swipe keyboard)!

The waves were proper mad just before they called it off!
That was a little bit further back in the race, I think the lap before. It wasn't the defining pass that Tom made on the final lap.
yes I didn't think that was the final lap - couldn't see any discontinuity in the tv feed for final that would cover such an incident and commentators would have remarked
Koretzky interview - he thought Pidcock made an error with lack of precision whilst trying to block one another (e: from overtaking)

Yeah the coverage missed that bit. Pidcock suddenly emerged back into the lead after the above incident with about 10-15m of a gap. He was then overtaken again before the pass at the very end of the race that won it for Pidcock.
I couldn't see him say that at in that article but perhaps I missed it. They contacted and he came out of his pedal and that was that. Rubbins racing as they say.
