If leg tape gives an advantage (seems tenuous) and it's permissible... maybe join them? 

Exactly plus I don't think a wee bit of tape was the reason the danish team caught up the gb boy which led to the crash

Denmark sort of catch GB in the Men's Team Pursuit, by basically riding into the back of the last GB rider.

The Danish rider was being a complete cock after it happened.

Rode right into the back of the 3rd British rider, in effect catching him & ending the race; due to not looking in front, seeing his opponent & overtaking.

He gets up & throws a complete heads gone tantrum at the Brit lying on the floor, like it's the guys fault he's steamed right into the back of him.

Storms off the Velodrome like a bull in a China shop, still seething in the pit. The result being the Danes face disqualification by deliberately causing a crash.

I hope they do get binned, purely down to that dicks antics. He's lucky he didn't get his puss punched for the way he was shouting at the guy on the ground.

Yank boy absolutely destroying the WR in the 400m hurdles but still losing cause the Norwegian absolutely destroyed it even more. Even 3rd place was only .02 seconds off it.

Sensational race, world record absolutely destroyed!

We mastered the art of taking every advantage possible when Dave Brailsford was all about the marginal gains stuff.  Don't think we can be upset if another team has figured out something we haven't.

There's absolutely no onus on the British rider to move over, so it's up to the chasing rider to avoid him. The Danes are claiming the pistol went off signalling they had caught him before the crash. Ultimately neither team finished the race so they have to decide whether the catch was good or the Danes caused the crash. The UCI tweeted hours ago that the Danes were through.

No idea of the rules.  what defines catching him?  Is it passing his back wheel or what?  Is riding straight into the back of his back wheel catching him?

The Brits DID finish the race. He got on the bike & completed the distance.

Didn't see that, only the clip of the crash.

McCormack well beaten in the boxing by Iglesias, adding another gold to the light welterweight one he won in London.
