It's Sir Chris Hoy.Originally Posted by DaveK
Nah, it's nothing to do with incremental improvements and all to do with the fact that our bike wheels "are round, I mean really round" according to the information imparted to a French TV interviewer by GB Cycling technical guru and picked up by French newspapers apparently.
Fact is they are made in France and the 'face' of the French company concerned in their ads is the guy that Lord(?) Hoy beat to get his last medal.
All good fun, innit?
He is a knight, not a peer.
I believe that the competition (ie. the rest of the world) can buy bikes of the exact same specification as the ones used by the Team GB riders, and have been able to do so for the last couple of years.
The equipment is important, but it doesn't fully account for the degree of success Team GB cyclists have enjoyed in these games.
