Dauphine ITT
3:37 down, falling to 34th in the GC.
"Alberto Contador tried to shrug off his bad day against the clock, claiming that an allergy problem had affected his ride."
Ah, that well known allergy he has to steak now.
Oh for the good old days
Why does Cav need a team to win Green?
I don't see why Cav will need to win another 5 or 6 stages of each TdF to win green.
If Sky are not chasing down breaks as HR used to do, then sure, there will be less bunch sprints for the stage win. That doesn't mean that there will be no bunch...
Image Rights\Sponsors
Given that Cav knew that if he won the World Championships, he would do so wearing a GB kit covered in the Sky logo, was it not sensible of him to sort out the image rights stuff? Sky would get to pick up all the WC money shots otherwise.
I'm sure that all roads do...
Great team effort
He repeatedly proves he doesn't need a lead out man, so why do people keep saying he can't do it without a lead out man?
The team pulled back the break, stopped others going off, and made sure thier guy was in with a shout when the finishing line came into sight.
Well mate, I've got some bad news for you. You will be hearing a lot about British cycling, and a lot from British cycling fans in the coming years.
May your ears bleed.

Whinge, Whinge, Whinge - "Cav can't do this, Cav can’t do that. Everybody finished fresh as a daisy. Everybody let Cav win. It was so boring."
The team did a massive job today. Everybody knew the GB game plan well ahead of the race. No one came up with any sort of plan to...
And what about their guaranteed winner?
So how does Cav fit into the new team (assuming that he went for the big money offer, not the nationally motivated move to Sky)?
Hoping that people won't die, while all very nice, is simply ridiculous.
Cycling news regularly reports the deaths of cyclists - doing a quick search brings up over a thousand articles.
If you feel the need to commemorate people, why not just put up "R.I.P" without names and cover...
Removed Comments
WTF? Excuse me, but I think you will find that it was CN that chose to include Cav's comments about anal rape in the video that CN released. It would seem hypocritical to then complain when people comment about it.
Anyway, I thought his comment was gold.
