Frogs have magic'd up a penalty in the 3 day eventing to give themselves a chance - pretty ridiculous based on the video.

Just seen what you mean , fucking scandalous from the frogs . No video evidence and they wont accept photography as evidence !!

it used to be based on punches landed, it's now the same as pro boxing 

quick google says it changed after Rio 2016, as they started allowing pros into the olympics?

Dont watch much table tennis but have they changed the rules ? When I played it was to 21 by 2 clear points and you served in batches of 5 each. 

Changed about 20 years ago

Get Pidcock on now.

Tense race.

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Fuckin hell. 

He got a puncture. 

Probably cost him the race.

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Truly remarkable mountain bike race.

Pidcock lost 40 seconds for a wheel replacement. 

Fought back and back in front again.

If he holds on, then it's a stunning result.

Take that you froggy bastards!

Wonder if there will be a protest from les bleus.

Gold for Tom Pidcock in the MBX. I expect the French to complain, but nothing to answer to.....

Don't see they will have much of a complaint. Pidcock made the break and was a touch ahead, with no route having a priority. 

Didn't stop some complaints over our eventer like, but fuck em.

It was simply an absolute worldy of a performance, arguably as good anything I've seen, given the setback of the puncture. 

Without it, he'd have won by a country mile.
