Caprelous 217 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 What tickles me is all this hype in the media that Mark Cavendish had more or less all he had to do was mount the podium. team G.B didnt do him any good whatesover regulating the pace of the big race his efforts where all in vain. All the other participants just laughed at the teams tacticts and waved as they passed them bye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,702 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Well what the f**k was all that about Im not naive enough to pretend theres not more to it than simply reaching the line first.......but stone me if your the favorites to win how can you let your competitors get so far in front without thinking well maybe we better go catch them now !!! Looked like overconfidence cost them to me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caprelous 217 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I know he was in there somewhere did team GB in the race think they were out for a casual jaunt around. I watched it all and it was painful all the crap that its all a strategy , looks like the other buggers were aware of it as well and there plan was better than ours , theirs was lets get over the line first.

gnasher16 29,702 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 While i accept theres probably a lot more to it than i know.......i think the shit this Cavendish fellas coming out with is all a bit embarrassing......be a man and take it on the chin like a proper chap should,nobody likes a bad loser who makes excuses..................the hard truth is they all started in the same place and all finished in the same place if 27 people finished before you just say well done,learn from it and move on. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
