...makes that gesture on top of his helmet when he wins? Did the same in Trentino.

Thank you! It is beautiful to see that you now show the same decorum for Tondo!!

I couldn't agree with you more, just sad to see that CyclingNews don't see it as well!!

I wonder why you make a difference between cyclists? On your front page you've written "R.I.P Wouter" for some time and nothing like that now that Tondo died. How come one rider is more important to remember than another? As a seriuos news leader within cycling you should treat them all the...

Oi......Farrar.....I totally forgot about him. Yes, he could also be a very good bet. I will stick with EBH since he is strong enough to go on several stunts in the mountains (like Hushovd last year) and I think that people still don't know how strong he is, but can he beat Farrar, hard to...

With TdF just two weeks away the blood start to rush at a little higher speed. This year i hope that the battle for green jersey will be just as fiierce as the battle for the yellow. We can pretty much list all the sprinters as conternders in the race for green. People will look to Cavendish...

I think the battle for the green jersey will be amazing. Everybody looking to Cav and Hushovd (and other sprinters), but I think we might get a surprise. Edvald Boasson Hagen is a not only a very good sprinter, but he is also strong enough to hang on the more hard (not mountain top finish)...

Now, it does seem strange that he would pull out for something like that and not leave and go home or whereever the funeral is. Why would he still hang around and train when he could have been in the race? Well.....let's not dwell on his intentions, but I do think that "personal reasons" might...

The Guardian writes that they belive he stood off because of personal reasons and not because of his pains. I can fully understand, who wants to be in a peloton where people don't want you, not because you're the fastest, but because you behave like an infant.

I want you to sit back for a little moment and think about what you just wrote, then if you STILL feel the same, then I will answer you.....THINK!!

Ah...you don't get it! This is not just about the crash but about his extreme disrespect for the other riders and for his idiotic behaviour! If this is tiring to you, why are you on this thread?

Riiiiight, how conveniant! This was not planned according to the HTC-website. He completed last year and the team was looking to work well together for this years addition as well. Stange also that all the other sprinters (that cav didn't take out of the race) are continuing, they also to...

At least Cav (or his team) had the brain enough to not start today. Second time this year that Cav has had to stand off because he has been acting like an idiot! Is he gonna take the hint this time? Probably not....sigh...

Thank you for bringing this to us Laura. Finally someone at CN who dares to report things as it is. This just goes to prove my point against Cav. All the Cav supporters here.....can you get behind this kind of behaviour?

It's been really interesting to read the comments. Most people here agree with the fact that Cavendish shows a huge amount of disrespect to his collegues in the peloton. The people who get behind Cavendish cannot defend his behaviour, but only reply with stuff like: "bohoo, that is sprinting...
