London 2012 Olympics
Time trial
Luis León Sánchez Gil
Face of change as dreams
evaporate for Sanchez, now watching Tony Martin ride to his eventual Silver
medal after being passed nr Cobham on what must be an Olympics to forget. Sánchez
started his day by snapping the chain with his starting effort, forcing a bike
change and inevitable lost time. His form was good after a fine performance in
the recent Tour De France Time Trial, so expectations were high. Huge crowds nr
Cobham cheered him on as he passed, but by now his ride was more out of respect
than a race he’d already lost. Bravo Sánchez.
