    Teams & Riders Mark Cavendish Discussion Thread

    Here's the problem. I'm older and more mature than you. I remember a time before the internet. I would just like a conversation. On the other hand, you, as a younger person, (with a handle of a notorious trouble maker), thinks that everything needs to be an argument. Your hero, while often...

    Go on then. Show me examples of where I have personally attacked a poster. I don't do that. 'The Hitch' often goes personal when he doesn't get his way. I have no problem with that. He's in his early 20s. When I was that age I thought I knew everything too. Now I know five times as much and...

    And you, as soon as you see my name, has a pop. Really, grow up. Try to have a discussion for once, rather than an arguement. You'll find it better son.

    The problem you are struggling with is that you think that only one of the two can be a great - despite being quite different. It's like comparing Dickens to Shakespeare. Here's the simple plan for you: Tom Boonen: All time great classics rider and sprinter Mark Cavendish: Phenomenal bunch...

    I don't really know where Rojas came from. There's no way he should be in a discussion with the greats. Cavendish will probably not rival the all round achievements of the likes of van Looy, Kelly, Maertens etc. But so what. He is the best at what he does - maybe the best ever. The idea of a...

    Someone brought Rojas into the discussion a few pages back. And you can't bring Rojas into any real discussion. He's a decent journeyman pro. Like many before. He's an all rounder who is not good at anything. Comparing Rojas to Cavendish is like comparing One Direction to Bob Dylan.

    All that matters is that Cavendish is great at what he does. Possibly the greatest that the sport has seen. He may not be to your taste but he wins. What he does is cycling. You may not like it, but that's the way it is. If you don't like it find another sport. You may not like his style, fair...

    But why the obsession with being an all-rounder. It's specific to cycling. No-one cares that Glenn McGrath can't bat or Lionel Messi can't tackle. Rojas may be able to do various things quite well. He may be the 10th best sprinter and the 30th best climber, but he's not great at anything. Who...

    And Rojas has won six races in six years. The idea that he is a better cyclist because he finishes 8th in a lumpy stage and 5th in a sprint stage is stupid.

    Mark Cavendish is the best sprinter of his generation, possibly of all time. Cycling, like all sports, is an entertainment, and Cavendish brings that. There's more talk if he loses than if he wins. He has charisma. Cycling fans are looking what he does next. You may not like what Cav says...

    Yes, one person at risk may turn down the opportunity of a heart scan as he thinks this is a doping related casualty and can't effect him.

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    Cardiologists know the things that lead to these arrests. There's been plenty of study into it. There is no casual connection to doping. Do you really think that a group of inexperienced doping obsessives have come up with an alternative reason, which they can't explain properly, and which has...

    Doping in Soccer/Football

    OK. So you want to make a difference. How are you going to this? What are your goals and how will you achieve them. Are you going to spread the word to football forums? Are you going to pressure Bolton Wanderers to launch an inquiry into doping? Are you going to present a report of your...
