Just wasted several hours on and off watching our latest sporting fiasco.
The most frustrating thing was the constant assurances from the commentators that Team GB was "controlling the race" and that they were not worried that more and more cyclists were breaking away from them and establishing significant leads because we were following team orders. All of which was meant to guarantee a win for Cavendish. Clearly the tactics were supplied by our own beloved OC as they didn't allow for the opposition not doing what was expected of them.
Result not a single Brit was within sight of the first 20+ finishers.
