The BBC have asked that the Olympic Broadcast Service provide assurances for future cycling competitions after a lack on information during Saturday's road race.

The BBC have asked that the Olympic Broadcast Service provide assurances over the pictures for Sunday's women's road race.

The broadcasting team during Saturday's men's road race grew increasingly frustrated with the lack of information provided by the images as the gap between Mark Cavendish and the leaders increased.

In a statement released shortly after Kazakhstan's Alexandr Vinokourov crossed the line first on the Mall, the BBC placed the blame squarely with Olympic Broadcasting Services, which provides pictures to broadcasters around the world.

A BBC spokesman said: "We have raised our concerns with OBS who have explained that there were GPS problems with the Locog-supplied timing graphics, which resulted in a lack of information for the commentary teams.

"A number of tests were run by OBS this morning on parts of the course. We've been assured that everything is being done to try and resolve this ahead of the women's road race."

The BBC will be desperate to avoid any continued repeat of this level of confusion on Sunday as the women take their turn to compete in the Olympic road race.
