Surely they should have changed tactics then fairly quickly when it became apparent that nobody would help them? Which was fairly early on because they were always at the front of the peleton. It was pretty tactically naive if they didn't consider the fact that due to how good they are that others would be reluctant to have to run in with Cavendish.
If you need a team to win it, how was the Khazak guy able to do it?
As not a big cycling fan it was strange to hear the commentary professing how brilliant GB were doing when then never seemed to be able to significantly reduce the gap.
In all fairness GB did very well, however the closing tactics didn't work as left too late to make any impact and as others have said with the other 'teams'
They did well as a unit to stay at the front of the peleton for most of the race
