Someone on the Cyclingnews forum is complaining about these guys http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=10367&page=2

Personally, I think it's great that they get a chance. Why should a country have to be big to be represented in sporting events. The guy is also ridiculing their speed. He treckons he could go faster. Maybe he could, but does it matter? Also, is it really that much of a disgrace to finish 22 minutes down on Fabian Cancellara in a hilly tt?

I'm curious, how far down would they be in a '10' if there was the same difference in speed. I'm guessing that Cancellara would do a 17 minute ride. I could probably work it out myself but it's too early! I suspect that their times wouldn't be all that embarrassing.

For anyone who wants to have a go at working it out here are the times:

Result
1 Fabian Cancellara (Switzerland) 0:58:09
2 David Millar (Great Britain) 0:01:02
3 Tony Martin (Germany) 0:01:12
40 Esad Hasanovic (Serbia) 0:09:02
41 Reginald Douglas (Saint Kitts and Nevis) 0:22:51
42 James Weekes (Saint Kitts and Nevis) 0:23:49
