Yeah, WORLD CHAMPION, Tour De France Green Jersey winner, Vuelta points jersey winner, Milan-San Remo winner and the greatest sprinter in the history of the Tour De France, including four consecutive victories on the Champs Elysees (where no one had won twice in a row before him) is definitely overrated. It's like saying Usain Bolt is overrated because he's rubbish at the Marathon.

Your right in that was Germany's intention, but that just highlights how badly they got it wrong. At least GB were trying to get their sprinter to the line. No point in having a fresh lead out if you're sprinting for 6th. To expect GB to do it by themselves and then piggy back on the end was ridiculous.
