Subject: RE: Mens Road Race Start List in Beijing....Obviously I didn't watch the event live.. Just saw the chop suey version of it on NBC (altogether 53 minutes of coverage ). Some thoughts:
- They let the lone Chinese cyclist led the peloton in the beginning. That was nice.
- The scenes were breathtaking.
- They commentator didn't mention Bettini's "mechanical problem".
- The camera did catch a couple of cyclists pulling to the side to answer nature's calling.
- Yes 6.5 hrs of road race boiled down to 53 minutes.
- Love it when the cyclists waved at the camera.
- Weird to see the lack of corporate logos (compared that with TdF )
