I think it is quite the opposite, Hoy didn't have enough respect to race his competitor to the finish line. Sign of arrogance, something that Hoy is not known for.English didn't have enough respect to just give up and thought it was actually a race. Pretty sad result.
I think Hoy would of been less embarassased if his chain did come off!!! Then at least he could blame his mechanic for the mistake!!The track equivalent of attacking while your opponent's chain comes off.
I thought karzie was being sarcastic, and that rhys must have been taking about hoy being in the wrong, just because some one gets a break on you doesn't mean you have to let them win, what sort of race would that be?
Yeah hoy wasn't showing any respect for his opponent. I would have looked around! (Lol at the last sprint carnival I did what hoy did in every race but one where I came from behind, but I made sure they weren't coming back!

Hmm sarcasm doesn't always work on the internet. I for one didn't believe he was being sarcastic. The interpretation tends to be based on the readers perception and knowledge of the other person in the real world.
As for the Hoy issue, I think he just switched off earlier as he knew that he had the race one and was conserving energy for the next round. It was his own mistake for not keeping a continued eye on his competitor.

For me, Hoy's look says "Aren't you a bit old to have that many pimiples? Hang on ... "
Hoy is usually magic to watch
