Mark Lovatt, John Tanner, if only they'd've had today's support.
Cancellara is an awesome sprinter at world championships after a full speed endurance race...I don't see how you can say otherwise, when Felix English beat Chris Hoy he was, on that day a better sprinter, last Sunday Cancellara acheived a 4th place in a sprint finish, making him a better sprinter than all those he beat on the day.
There is far more to a sprint than the acceleration, tactics, timing and playing to your own strengths are all part of it and Cancellara used all of these skills in his sprint....arguing your point doesn't change the result sheet, it's like calling Francesco Casagrande or Mauricio Soler crap climbers because of their apalling riding styles and ignoring their summit wins.
