Most of it was on BBC Scotland and iPlayer, with the last few laps on One, but there was a 50 minute stoppage due to protestors earlier in the race. Even the commentators took a break at one point, with an on-screen caption saying they'd resume when the race did.I was watching the iPlayer stream but caught the end of the BBC One coverage and Clare did say they stayed on air as they wanted to show the conclusion on BBC One. BBC One went off air before the medal ceremony, leaving the road race not long after 2nd, 3rd and 4th crossed the line, then had a brief round-up with Clare and Dame Sarah Storey, showed the run of the British winner of the downhill mountain biking and he had a short interview with Clare who then signed off. Coverage on BBC One ended at around 16:55 - I'm not sure how much later than planned that was.
