Sydney was a bit different, since there were faster riders than the three Telekom guys in the group of 14 or 17 following them. Jalabert, who'd finish 4th, was one of them.
Ok, Vino didn't attack the two Germans, and didn't react when Ullrich left (rather than attacked), but Klöden left him the second place. Had they come for a three men sprint, the result would probably have been the same.
More importantly:
1. They had absolutely no chance if they didn't work together
2. If they made it, every single one would get a medal...and so they did.
Yeah, I know it was a quite different situation than today, but I only wanted to say that it's quite common that this type of cooperation.
More weird for me is that Jan Barta and Roman Kreuziger openly said that they have a backup plan for today and that would be that they help Peter Sagan in last kms, if they can't get a good result for themself.
why? - we are closer to slovakia than propably none two other nations there |

Can Stuart O'Grady sprint anymore? I haven't seen him do it in a while.

He probably still has at least some sort of acceleration.

Kristoff in a sprint anyone?

Yeah, I know that and I am happy for that, but it's weird, because every single nation should get the best possible result in any Olympic event IMO.

Sorta. Attacking to kill the teamwork up front.
