Inge was paid to be the pacemaker here. Who would have thought.

I don't understand why he put himself into that position.

 

[Nick2413]

Somebody do the math on how much energy/W Ing paid for pacing the whole way

 

[Rob5091]

So much for the hotshots, huh?!

 

[Tim Cahill]

I don't understand why he put himself into that position.

He was trying to set an infernal pace to negate Kerr's kick, he was beaten before the race had even started

Ironically Kerr beat himself too by underestimating the American

I don't understand why he put himself into that position.

To prevent Kerr from outsprinting him again. Well, not worked out like intended.

Ingebritsen needs to spend the next 4 years at his desk, staying up untll the early hours of the morning with nought but a quill and lit candle, intently studying Simon Gerrans' and Levi Leipheimer's finest moments compilations, instead of pulling up to a big race trying to pull that nonsense again.

We might have to go back to Galkina at Beijing for a different scene.
