The peloton (which is the main group of riders) left all the work to team GB to catch up with the leaders (the people that break away from the main group, usually leads to fatigue for the final sprint), which meant that it was harder to make up the distance between the two groups, which meant that team GB were left way behind at the end.

should have gone with the leading group when they broke from the peloton and then if Cav would have gone away with the front 2 he would have got at least a bronze

They were trying to preserve Cav's energy for the final sprint, but they didn't expect the gap to be 50+ secs with under 10kms remaining.

yeah i know but i don't know why they never expected that everyone was going to race against them, they have a World Champion and a tour de france winner in their group they were never going to be given anything

The Dutch Winner was favourite if it's the one i'm thinking off, the one with the 3 letter surname?
