Who is the next-best British road sprinter, and has he got a chance of winning anything major - say, within the next three years?
...Because we can't have just one man to rely on if the British success is going to last long.
It's horses for courses, I don't know where the World Championships are next year, but it could be a circuit that doesn't suit a sprinter. It was said on Eurosport that when the course in Copenhagen was announced it was realised that it was an ideal sprinter's course and the plan was made to support Cav.
AFAIK the World Championships have always been held on a circuit, as has been said it is a much better spectacle for the spectators to see the riders umpteen times rather than just the once. It is an annual pilgrimage for supporters from the cycling nations and it is a gigantic street party.
