    I wouldn’t know, it’s not available to watch! I’m having to follow the scores on Twitter but I want to actually see it.

    Poor Geraint Thomas. As much success as Cav has had recently, G seems to have suffered in equal measure.

    That was just a couple of highlights I saw hours ago. They’re on the last rotation now and I wanted to see Max on the pommel. It only showed first 2/3 rotations and then went off.

    Great ride from Carapaz, shame Yates couldn't bag a medal but Pogacar and Van Aert are just on another level.

    Feel a bit for Van Aert & Pogacar. Clearly the two strongest but no one would let them go.

    I’m sure the bosses at Team UAE will be questioning McNulty & wishing he’d gone all in to help Pogacar.

    Like @Marc said. I'm struggling to name many 2020 Olympians.

    Dina Asher Smith
    KJT
    Adam Peaty
    Jade Jones
    Laura Muir
    Brownlees? Or is there just one of them this time?
    Tom Daley

    Thats all i can think of.

    Looks like the GB woman look strong.

    Googled the full team GB line up.

    Holly Bradshaw and Ailish McColgan are two others I'd forgot to mention.

    Just not the same with no crowds.

    Oh and Johnathon Pearce doing commentary of GB football. Urgh.
