They also seemed to have every single move marked by the other teams. There's a price to pay for being so dominant!
Well, at least it's reassuring to know that it takes the combined cycling might of Russia, Italy, France, Germany and Argentina to beat us. And to be fair, all those other countries have Madison specialists in their team - maybe by 2012, we'll have cracked the Madison and the points race too. Clean sweep of golds in London? We can but dream...
Good on Cav for his brave attempt at a breakaway near the end, which may well have been good enough for a podium place if it had worked, but Wiggins was clearly too tired to help him pull it off. I feel sorry for Cav - he's the only member of the track team to come away without a medal.
Oh well, I suppose four TdF stage wins is some kind of consolation.
