The final countdown
- 25 Mar 06, 10:51 PM
It's the last day of action at the Commonwealth Games and I've sauntered down to the women's road race. Nicole Cooke was among the pre-race favourites but she's not had the ideal start and is two-and-a-half minutes off an early breakaway group. There's still plenty of time but she faces immensely stiff opposition from the Australian team. At their media conference the other day they were overflowing with confidence, talking of their strongest line-up ever. They even went as far as to tip themselves for not just a one-two-three but to take all five of the top spots. It remains to be seen whether Cooke can mess that up.

Why is there no mention of Adam Robertson on the BBC's main page of highlights for today?
The Welshman will be going for bronze in the Men's Singles Talbe Tennis later on but doesn't seem to warrant a mention by your colleagues ... unlike all the English competitors going for bronze in their events.
