Completely agree with him.  There was no reason to restart that first race, the only one being the GB guy was going to lose.  

There was a perfect reason to neutralize the race though, and with that, the race had to be restarted or else there'd be no result.

Those randomly exploding tires at any given moment  

 

I'll stick with going to the way more quiet swimming, ski jumping, biathlon and such thank you very much

Paul through  

 

Both Suriname riders Tjon and Fa through

What's up with Brits zipping themselves just before the race, and unzipping immediately after?

I think they need to make the Scratch Race longer. 30 laps just isn’t enough time for anything to play out tactically expect for a massive (and dangerous) field sprint. This definitely isn’t the first time I’ve seen this happen in a Scratch Race.

 

Or more simply: having the individual pursuit back instead

Hoping the GB person finishes fourth

Kwesi Brown in the semis as well!

I've seen others do that as well (though less often). I can't imagine those suits are anywhere near comfortable to wear, so I can understand making it less tight as soon as it's not necessary anymore

Crap....
