He seemed very clear what he was saying, Chris Hoy looked (to me) shocked that he was appearing to admit to faking a problem. I got the impression that it was a tactic that had previously been discussed, but looking at the comical execution, not practiced. Making the most of the rules I guess, but I'd not be happy if I was part of the German(?) team. Seemed less sporting than what the female badminton players did to me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7999&page=2#post-80384 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 10:27:31 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 80384@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Story I heard this AM (may be wrong!) is that Hindes, a German by birth and by first language, was asked jokingly by an interviewer (Jill Douglas?) if he had been trying to pull a fast one (i.e. falling off deliberately), he, with his not-great-English, misunderstood and confirmed that, yes, he was trying to go fast. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7999&page=2#post-80373 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:51:14 +0000 chdot 80373@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>William Fotheringham on Radio 4 'quite within the rules to fall off'! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7999&page=2#post-80366 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:19:38 +0000 Dave 80366@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Quite a lengthy failure to translate..? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7999&page=2#post-80365 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 07:58:24 +0000 chdot 80365@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>British Cycling says "lost in translation" - ' he was trying to make a joke' </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7999&page=2#post-80364 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 07:56:49 +0000 chdot 80364@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>However</p> <p><a href="http://www.google.co.uk/m/search?q=hindes+deliberate+crash" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.co.uk/m/search?q=hindes+deliberate+crash</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7999&page=2#post-80335 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 23:14:47 +0000 steveo 80335@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hand should be at your side during a salute. </p> <p>/godwin </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7999&page=2#post-80333 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 23:09:56 +0000 kaputnik 80333@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If we're playing Where's Wally, then - top left.
