The whole thing is just bizarre. I'm glad the Dutch journalist could see the massive elephant in the room.
If that's a real exchange it'seems a very strange reaction. But in some way I do admire his complete lack of media polish.

I have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the description of the exchange. not going to say anything about 'social media witch hunt'. footage is what it is, he looks twice, then veers off in what to me is a silly, very acute angle downward.

complete lack of media polish
This is one of the great things about the Olympics in general. I mean with Cav it's more surprising because he's a pro, but in the other sports, I love how unpolished and goofy they are. Real people, on TV!

I agree. It's crazy talk.
But he doesn't flinch. At all.
Can you conceive of diving down the banking in an Olympic final points race and riding straight into a bike that you had no idea was there, and not doing a massive "WTF was that?" flinch?
Maybe I'm just naive about his level of focus.
