If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Boardman made a very pertinent point from old school cycling tactics. If there's more riders in the lead group than chasers in the peleton, then the catch is very unlikely.

Froome was a bit disappointing, Stannard put in a great shift.

But if this Cav is so good and was a 'cert' for a medal then why didnt he just pedal faster and get to the leaders rather than just staying behind with his team mates?

sorry im not trying to be a pest here i just dont understand how it works, i just presumed it was every man for himself.

Can someone tell me why the score is not displayed during the boxing rounds rather than at the end of each round?
It used to be.

Yes, by a female rider who learned from the mistakes of her male counterparts.

Because he is fast in the same way that Bolt is fast but imagine how good Bolt would be if he was asked to run a matheron before the last 100 metres.

Surely they should have changed tactics then fairly quickly when it became apparent that nobody would help them? Which was fairly early on because they were always at the front of the peleton. It was pretty tactically naive if they didn't consider the fact that due to how good they are that others would be reluctant to have to run in with Cavendish.

If you need a team to win it, how was the Khazak guy able to do it?

As not a big cycling fan it was strange to hear the commentary professing how brilliant GB were doing when then never seemed to be able to significantly reduce the gap.



In all fairness GB did very well, however the closing tactics didn't work as left too late to make any impact and as others have said with the other 'teams'

They did well as a unit to stay at the front of the peleton for most of the race

i dont really think froome was disappointing. his job was to help cav up the boxhill climbs, a similar yet smaller scale task than he performed for wiggins on the tour. once that was done it was down to wiggins stannard and millar to pace him home. dont really think you can blame any of the british riders, thats the way cycling goes sometimes
