    Fair enough, just presumed it was in response to my question and not Dan's duff answer :w00t:
    And apologies for the grumpy response.

    Not sure how Cav managed to sway from contractual obligation to pro though (unless that only relates to pro tour activity).

    Yep they do. I'm not sure using the other bikes was a good idea after spending 3 weeks racing on a different set up, and the months before training on that set up. Though I imagine they were geometric matches to there dogma's, I still imagine they will feel different - not that I think this played a part in there defeat.

    I wonder if they had team radios whether they would have let the break away get so far ahead so late in the race, or whether they'd have been told the gap and reeled it in earlier?

    Maybe, though either way it would be hard work for 4 people.

    I agree, he sounds bitter.

    I've been watching the archery... Surely that should have been held in Sherwood forest... Mind you the French losing at archery in England has some historical satisfaction...

    But the bows the use... why can they not just use a proper wooden longbow, and see how good they really are? :w00t:

    Sorry.

    I am not privileged enough to know what discussion went on in the race between Greipel and the German team.

    Perhaps he said "It's not my day lads so please go and ride for that modest British sprinter who thinks he is owed an Olympic Gold Medal for turning up."
