Chris Froome had to be reminded to register for the Olympic road race and then appeared to have a tactical bike change mid-race.The three-time Tour de France champion, seeking to join Sir Bradley Wiggins as the only Tour winner to win Olympic gold in the same year, was unaware his name was being called over the public address system.Riders must sign in before races, but Froome had forgotten until a reporter shouted over the barrier.The British team of Froome, Steve Cummings, Geraint Thomas, Adam Yates and Ian Stannard were on the front of the peloton as they rolled over the start line for the 237.5-kilometres race.Froome required a bike change with around 100km remaining and coach Rod Ellingworth helped him make the adjustment before Thomas escorted him back to the main bunch.It may have been planned, given the change took place after the riders had completed four laps of the Grumari Circuit, which included a cobbled section. Froomes Team Sky squad have specific bike set-ups for cobbles and the British team may have done the same.However, it was still not to be for Team GB as Belgiums Greg van Avermaet went on to win gold as Britains chances finished in the gutter. Thomas had been among a chase group with a chance of a medal at Copacabana, but tumbled to the road on the concluding descent with 10km to go.Van Avermaet and Jakob Fuglsang bridged the gap to solo leader Rafal Majka in the final 2km, but the Pole could not contest the sprint as Van Avermaet won gold ahead of Denmarks Fuglsang.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- World-record holder Usain Bolt did not have nearly the fastest time in the preliminary rounds of the mens 200-meter dash, but that was partly because he slowed down so much near the finish line while leading his heat that he could have been pushing a grocery cart. Plus, the heats were relatively early, starting around noon as opposed to the late-night finals.I was a little tired, but it was a morning session and Im not a very good morning person, Bolt said. I just came out to qualify.Not surprisingly, he did so, winning his heat with a time of 20.28.That was well off his world record of 19.19 as well as the days top time of 20.09 by Canadas Andre De Grasse. It also was the 15th-fastest time of the day.The heats are not about records, though, especially for those who are fast enough that they can be confident they will advance without running their absolute fastest race.Its not about time right now. Its about getting to the straightaway, holding your form and getting to the finish line, said Justin Gatlin, who advanced to the semifinal round with a time of 20.42. If you think about time, that will get into your head too much.The scheduling of the track events has been a little odd here. The turnaround betweenn the 100-meter semifinals and final was not much more than hour, which both Bolt and Gatlin said caused them to have slower times than they had hoped.dddddddddddd The triple-jump final was held in the morning Tuesday, starting at 10:50 a.m., which gold medalist Christian Taylor of the U.S. said he had never experienced before.It required early-morning starts for the Olympians.Its not just the run thats tiring -- its the transportation getting to and from the athletes village to here because of the traffic, Gatlin said. You cant stay up too late, but how could I not stay up to watch the womens 400 final last night? I had to make sure I watched that, and then got right back upstairs to go to bed.Bolt, who won his third consecutive gold in the 100 on Sunday, is the favorite in the 200, and he will try to win his third gold in the 200 as well. The semifinals of the 200 are Wednesday and the final is Thursday.American LaShawn Merritt, who won bronze in the 400 on Sunday, also qualified for the 200 semis with a time of 20.15 (the fourth-best of the day), as did American Ameer Webb with a time of 20.31.
