There is advertising along the pool deck at the swimming.

So CommGames is different to the Olympics when it comes to private sponsorship ?

Watching a little cycling ... team pursuit .... 4 riders ... at the start the bottom of the 4 cannot break cos machine holds him, but other 3 are not held ... when they go the bottom one leads off and rest fall in behind .... yet they call a false start on any of the top 3 ... why? They all just fall in behind the other dude who cant false start cos he is held

Because it f**ks up the rhythm, basically.

Anyway, that's a cracking ride. England have a beast of a cycling program, to beat them like that is awesome. It's nice to be the country with road riders coming back for a change, normally it's England just casually rolling out road riders. And theirs are fking Grand Tour winners

Well they did a fair bit more than that tbh. Team Sky has a bigger budget than most nations.

they pinched everything but our riders, f**k them

Point is money talks. For years our cycling program was pretty half arsed, our first Tour de France champion hadn't trained in Australia in something like a decade FFS.

England decided they were going to get very serious about this cycling lark, so they made a concerted effort to have the best set up in the world. A few years later and they've had a multiple world champion and multiple TDF classifications winners, and two TDF winners with five of the last six titles between them. Wiggins was their first ever in 2012 and since him they've only missed out when Froome crashed out of the tour in 2014.

They need one of those rabbit things they use with the greyhounds.

Perhaps they can chase a driver who didnt give them 1m space and go all road rage if they catch em

Now that would be an event worth watching.

Do they get extra points for creativity? Like if they pull off one of his side mirrors and smack him upside the head with it?
