I felt bad for Fabian, but good for him for racing despite the shoulder injury.
Just watched the recap of the TT races online, the womens race was pretty awesome. Zabelinskaya seemed surprised every time someone came through and she just kept sitting, and smiling. Very cool. Kristin Armstrong just dominated, though.

Bradley Wiggins, same boat, he just rocked that TT from start to end. Cool for Team GB to get their cycling medals on after what went wrong for them in the road race.

Haven't watched any Track Cycling, I'll have to watch some of the replays. I wish the primetime coverage covered some of the other sports that happened during the day, or that the other NBC channels would cover some other stuff in the evenings. Even a nice hour-long Olympic recap show like the tennis ones you can catch during big tennis matches. Sometimes I don't have time to fast forward through 4 hours of coverage, but I don't want to miss key parts.
