Watched the mountain biking earlier. Holy shit that was an amazing race. I was cheering for the Frenchman, but it was a seriously incredible effort from the pom to bring it back after being over 30 seconds down from a flat.
Then for the Frenchman to hang on and trade places back and forth over the last lap. It was so intense!
Disappointing that the result came down to an unfortunate bit of contact between the two racers, rather than a sprint finish. But to me it looked like completely fair play, just bad luck. Poor form from the French crowd to boo the pom as he came across the line, and then apparently again during his medal ceremony.
