The break has 20 minutes, and now I'm going to have to stay up to find out if Peter Sagan's brother is going to be waving a golden helmet in everyone's face for the next 4 years.

You can watch on nbcolympics.com or the NBC Sports app. They have the world feed commentators.

Do teams still start track riders in the road race so they can get one more sprinter for track events

if my experience with international events is anything, it's better they don't provide them because they're always wrong at international races anyway

Bit of a whiff of 2012 and the 'anyone but Cav' from the peloton regaring Pogacar imo.

Be interesting to see what happens when Greg and Tratnik run out of gas.

he wasn't great at the Tour but I think Sergio "Big Hig" Higuita will like the resemblance to a Tirreno stage and win from a small group sprint.

It's hemoglobin from an oceanfloor worm, it's extracellular so its in the blood plasma instead of the red blood cell and doesn't raise hematocrit but you get the extra oxygen capacity. Supposedly cleared by the body in 3 hours also very expensive/difficult to test for and most labs can't test for it.

Supposedly Lance used bovine hemoglobin in a similar manner
