Maybe he enjoys the moment in private, I don't know. Unless I missed it, I thought he could have done a better job of saluting the massive home crowd that came out to support him today(great job by the Brit fans!). I felt bad for Cancellara today and I think the sport will miss his animated, good humored personality as champion.


Great Olympics for Phinney I thought. Tough luck to miss the medal stand twice...
Wiggo is completely classless in comparison to Cancellara. The difference in their post race interviews was striking. Cancellara was a class act and Wiggins was ... well, just Wiggins. Personally, I like to root for guys with Cancellara's class. Wiggins is a disappointment from a fan's perspective.
