One of the commentators - Hugh Porter I think it said his name was - was terrible.  It seemed that every time he identified a rider, or made a comment on how things might pan out, it was immediately shown to be wrong.  He makes Motson sound like Arlott.

He's doing badly again, he's not making it clear what is going on.

Strange seeing the cyclists in pissing down rain while it's sunny outside and I have the fan on.

Currently watching the women's beach volleyball. Only because it's the British team mind.

Slightly more clothes, but GBR woman hockey team winning 4-0 at half time. Unfortunately for us (and the blonde woman seated next to them) the band seems to be in attendance.
