Now the French are casting aspersions on the performance of the GB cyclists.
"We are asking a lot of questions: how have they gained so many tenths of seconds? Have they found a new training process based on certain energy pathways? I am not talking about any illicit product, because anti-doping tests are so strong," a perplexed Gautheron told L'Equipe.
"Honestly, we are looking a lot at the kit they use. It is not yet time to analyse, though. It's all over for these Games.
"They hide their wheels a lot. The ones for the bikes they race on are put in wheel covers at the finish (of a race). Do they really have (official supplier) Mavic wheels? We know that they work with McLaren."
I think they are still a bit miffed about the Tour de France.
They are also complaining about a British pair being allowed to restart a race in the rowing following an equipment failiure at the start. They should read the rules. If the failiure was within the first 100m,which it was,they were entitled to restart. It is an anachronistic rule that dates back to the era of much less technically advanced boats and equipment but it is still on the book.
I see we just won another gold in the show jumping....probably using bionic horses!
