"Nah, if we only had athletics, us Brits would have hardly any medals this year. We NEED equestrianism, yachting and rowing!"

C'mon Bagpuss – get your facts right – we NEED CYCLING! The 'invisible' sport of Britain gets the lions share of our medals these days. 2 golds and a silver so far, and it's not over yet. With the points race, madison and keirin still to come there's a good chance there will be even more.
