Should Cav have thrown a few stages in the TdF?
It seems that after two dominating sprints at the end of the Tour de France, every other team was 100% convinced that if the Olympic road race came down to a sprint, Cav would win it. Thus, even the teams with sprinters (Australian, Germany, US, Belgium) were no longer willing to work to bring it to a sprint, and Great Britain simply didn't have the manpower to control the whole race. So, assuming the Olympics is a higher priority than TdF stage-hunting, should Cavendish have deliberately lost at the end of the tour to make the other teams believe they had a chance so that they would work for a sprint finish?
