Shame Cancellara hurt himself, and shame a previous drug cheat won.agreed on all that - the Australians had more of an excuse because O'Grady was in the break but I think Goss in a group sprint had more chance than O'Grady who had been riding hard in a break all day. Both of them preferred to miss out on the medals rather than risk Cavendish win the gold.
I think I would have preferred anyone in the breakaway over vino to win - shame when he pretended to retire to try and dodge a long ban he didn't actually mean it.

Yes, it seems to rely on a shakey assumption that people aren't going to want to keep competing
