dont think you can judge track sprints by their winning margins. there's psych factor there. some pull up as soon as they're passed. anyway, good to see hoy win, he seems an alright down to earth nice guy. it'll be more sus if it was won by some overcompetitive cocky pricks (eg ricco/cavendish*)
saw bit of bbc interviewing some aussies re getting beaten in the olympics + some news print on the same thing. why does the media feel that they need to go out of their way and check up on aussie reactions? seems like blatant gloating to me. so the big wind up is not just happening here. sometimes it is not enough beating the world is it?
anyway, seen it all before (ashes/rugby). doesnt take long for the brits to turn on their own. as RPM demonstrated yesterday on the madison + nimbles vs andyp. even funnier to watch unfold. happens all the time :)
*dont think he's drugged. just dont like him. i see him as the c ronaldo of cycling
