I feel really sorry for him. I know he's had his moment (s) of glory, but even so...

the madison is the only race where team gb have got it wrong. the coaches etc should have paired cavendish with someone who would have been fresher than wiggins.
you can't blame wiggins for wanting to do it, but the coaches should have made the decision for him.
that said, you can hardly be critical of the team when they have performed so fantastically. and when the only track rider without a medal has come off a tour de france with 4 stage wins, we're hardly weak in any particular area.

I suspect that Bradley Wiggins feels pretty awful for Cav. It's just heartbreaking for them both.

There's talk that the new Glasgow velodrome will be named after Chris Hoy!

Hoy's been saying that we need more cycling facilities in Scotland. Hopefully we can a build a little momentum in order to save and upgrade Meadowbank track!

hope he succeeds. i'm sure he won't be bought by the promise of the new velodrome being named in his honour.
what use is a velodrome being built for 2014 when the next olympics are in 2012?

I loved Kenny's description of Hoy in the papers today - after saying he was a human with strengths and weaknesses, he changed his mind and said that when he thought about it "he doesn't really have any weaknesses, only weaker strengths"!
