cavendish would not have survived the monster stage that finished on Alpe d'Huez, so there's no point arguing about whether he would've won on the Champs Elysees. he did the right thing to pull out.
i find it arrogant in the extreme to suggest that Cav and Wiggo were certain Madison gold medallists if Wiggo was fresh. there is plenty that has to go right, and plenty that can go wrong, between starting a madison and winning one.
fuck, the GB men lost 2 races in the whole track program, and some people seem to have forgotten that it's the frikkin' Olympic games and plenty of other countries have good riders and coaches.
now let's get onto a real sport: running and jumping.
