BBC will only take notice of formal complaints. Let rip here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complain-online/
Just submitted... Fuck you Bond. Good enough for forum template?:
Complaint title:
Sports Editor David Bond's Interview- M. Cavendish
Complaint description:
Sports Editor David Bond's report on the Men's Road Race was already bad to the point of being factually inaccurate and reflected a clear ignorance of the sport of cycling, but his frankly ridiculous, over-simplistic 'report' was then capped off by approaching an athlete recognised as being the best in his discipline world-wide, asking him what can only be described as a stupid question, then insinuating that it was a result of his personal frailties that Cavendish responded in the manner he did.For viewers watching, who had already tolerated abysmal coverage of the actual race, to see this from the Sports Editor implies a total ignorance and lack of preparation, and a structural problem within your organisation.
Mr Bond's clear lack of knowledge was bad enough, but to have such a negative, ill-informed perspective on the performance of both Cavendish and the GB team is unforgivable and ill befitting of someone in his position.
I note that Cavendish's later interview with the BBC was far more fulsome and reflected the actual knowledge of the interviewer who could ask questions beyond 'were you tired?' when a team of 4 riders has spent the best part of 250km working to bring back a break of 30+ riders by themselves.
The comments on Mr Bond's blog reflects a unanimous and damning verdict on his skill as a journalist. Should he not have to apologise to Cavendish and the GB team for his remarks, and to the viewers for the quality of journalism?
