For all the armchair experts - crashes happen in bike racing. There is always hand-wringing afterwards and people pointing fingers.. The fact of the matter is; everything happens in a split second; there is NO intention, you just make a gut choice - sometimes you're right, sometimes you're wrong. Stuff like leaning is just part of the game - if the other person isn't ready for that they're stupid or shouldn't be in the mix.
Cav is as true a sprinter as there is out there, head up, straight lines. Yes, he can be aggressive, but all the best sprinters are. How many sprint and Kierin medals do you think Hoy would have won worrying about other people? Fuck all.
