How come Fumy Beppu isn't in his Japan uniform anymore?

[ORICA GreenEDGE]

Because the Japan championships were a week ago and he wasn't racing in them. He is still the National TT champion.

Where's the race footage?

[ORICA GreenEDGE]

Unfortunately we do not have the rights to show race footage.

Wow, bitter much? Watch it again: Sky's leadout train was looking great with 3km to go, but that's not where the race is won. After the first tight corner with 2km to go they lost Cav and you can see them looking over their shoulders trying to find him (he is on Renshaw's back wheel. After the last corner, one of the two remaining Sky leadout riders peels off leaving one alone in front with Cav still waaay behind - tell me how that is a "great leadout"! . . .

[firsthippy]

Bingo! It wasn't a great leadout by Sky, they were nowhere. GreenEdge smashed it, perfect. There's just too many Brits on here blinded by nationalism having a cry about Cav stacking. *chants Aussie Aussie Aussie* whilst blindfolded ;-)

No one is disputing that Cav isn't the best, he just got beaten by a more organised team that day.

[Jonathan Fitch]

great team effort

well done sky shame about cav

[Jonathan Fitch]

no the leadout train from sky was not a mess it was a great leadout and almost a carbon copy of the one by stannard and geraint at the wolrds last year the only reason why goss won was because cav had to slow down twice because of stupid itailans then he got knocked over before he had a chance to accelerate but he wasnt too far back because he won the wolrds from that distances. so enjoy your victory while it lasts
