And I think part of that is GB taking a longer-term view of things. Smashing everyone at the Worlds would've just've made them hungrier for the Olympics and looked at a way to find that extra percent. Wiggins has said repeatedly how much he wishes BC let them use the good skinsuits, helmets and equipment outside of the Olympics.

Basically the issue about all the whinging about the track team is the other nations were licking their lips. A poor run in the preceding World Champs and the drama around Shane Sutton, I reckon the all thought they would break the British domination this time round, and boy were they surprised. You would have thought the march Worlds might have served as a warning, but a lot of the other teams have actually improved on their times from that meet, like the USA women's TP, who beat the Brits, the Aussies man's TP who again pushed the British into second, and also the NZ men's Team Sprint, who won gold and with a slower time than they managed in the Limpets (an event where GB finished sixth).
Yet get to the Limpets and the Brits just dole out their usual spanking.
Haha.
