In the spirit of the Olympics, you race the best team you've got, regardless of podium finish, and that's what they are doing. Hell of a tough decision for personal reasons, but it seems like it's the right one for pure sporting ones.
It would've been a fantastic story, but the coach is not there to make Visa commercials relevant. Otherwise might as well just fill the team full of orphaned kittens.
Kudos to McKeever though. Even getting to be in such position is a herculean accomplishment.
