Maybe.
On the third showing, they added that they asked Chris why he wasn't wearing a helmet and have posted his response on Facebook.
If it's an issue, why post on FB and not broadcast it?
It strikes me that their attempt to address the issue neutrally, is anything but and also hypocritical: if his behaviour is so maverick it requires a caveat, why have him fronting the piece?
But I agree, his hand signal was risible; better though than her not indicating at all though.
[If someone with a FB account could quote it here, I'd like to read it.]

More interesting was Chris Boardman saying he doesn't ride a bike in London because it is too unpleasant.
I know how he feels. I'm on the cusp of giving it up myself.

I didn't see it that way - I thought it was more 'please don't inundate us with anguished e-mails and tweets about helmets'. Though I agree it was, peculiarly, delivered with the sort of solemnity usually reserved for announcements of a royal death.
