Quote: Saddened! "
Rather pathetic from everyone involved in the GB team really. What was all the hype about? What's all this about team tactics? They are now saying it's because they only had 5 riders, yet the Kazakhstan winner didn't have a team holding his hand. One wonders about the money spent inflating these egos. Oops.

GBs tactics were pretty much right, they just lacked the help they needed to kill the break away. 50 seconds is hardly anything in cycling afterall and can be closed down in a matter of kms normally, just not with only 4 people doing all the riding. The Germans tactics were truely shocking, they needed a sprint as much as GB yet refused to help till it was too late.
Also they are hardly over inflated egos, Wiggins won the Tour De France and Cavendish is the most successful sprinter in its history. They are pretty much the best sports people we have at the moment and some of the best of all time.
