Lynchman why?
It was a hard day at the cycling coalface, why no vitriol for the other nations riders who didn't finish? Begrudging credit to British riders when they do well, but obviously they are not as good as your heroes of old. Scathing denouncement of them when they do badly.
It was a hard day, lots of riders got off today, I'm assuming most saw no point in continuing on a day which was treacherous when the chance for glory had gone. Others didn't. Get off your high horse and back down to cycling reality.
