Olympic Road Races

All I can say is Wow. Thrills, spills and a ton of excitement. I drove my wife nuts at times as I would stop and then look at how the professionals would attack a hill or whatever to see hand position, etc. So not only were the races entertaining, for me they were also informative.

Some of the most entertaining cycling I've ever seen... both races coming down to the wire, amazing.

The dangerous descent, though - not sure that was the greatest idea, but to have a climb followed by a time-trial-like blast to the finish... well, you have to come down somehow. Sounds like everyone will recover, so that's good at least.
