They tried to use their Team Sky approach on a stage that was subtly different, namely that it didn't have team radios, and it was five rather than ten riders per team. Yes, I'm talking in retrospect, so it's much easier now, but today shows that a team of five isn't enough to dominate a peloton unless you have the co-operation of another team.

As for the beach volleyball Miles...giggedy.
Totally agree with the bold. But I just think they didn't really have a more viable other option.

Did you happen to see the god awful ten o'clock news report on the race? David Bond (BBC sports editor) should be shot. Cav was right to react like that. The blog by David Bond on the BBC website is equally bad and is attracting a lot of complaints.
Guess I'm pleased I missed Bond's report, I'm sure the BBC has a bunch of guys who are covering sports they aren't really familiar with during the Olympics.

As a Welshman, I hope that my favourite horse-faced Welsh lady Nicole Cooke can pick up a medal tomorrow.
