yep dont blame commentators one minute. Think mistakes was not there fault also daft to allow teams same colours.
Was there GPS like the tours. Surely brainded IOC would allow that as it helps to pinpoint where riders are.
Think the commentators was paul sherwin and chris boardman they know cycling inside out from itv4 did channel 4 tour de france coverage for years.
So clearly mistakes was lack info but surely organisors could give them the tools to cammentate.
Whoever to blame wants kick up the pants for this fiasco IOC, BEEB or Locog someone needs get finger out sort this mess for tomorrow. It was not 3rd division coverage it was amatuerish.
Spoilt good day watching racing shame cav did not win but alot cycling fans will be angry this poor effort of coverage.
