2012 Vuelta a España - Tour of Spain

I don't think it was any great conspiracy against Cav or Team GB. The fact is they rode a one day race like a tour stage, and as a smaller team with no radios or DS instructions they blew it. Letting a large group with some brilliant one day riders get more than 5 minutes in front was a big mistake. Most teams in the peleton had team mates in the breakaway with some chance of a medal, so had nothing to gain by chasing them down and gifting it to Cav.

There was no conspiracy, just like Rodriguez did two days ago they found themselves without friends in the peloton. I'm guessing the feeling was they've won enough, we want a peice of this, so no one helped them.

And if it's old new news why bring it up?
