    Mark Cavendish excuses for 2016

    Re: Re: I agree with all of you. Cav is still one of the best, he lost a step or two but he can still win.

    Again, look at the results, the top 25 were almost all together, then small groups rolled in, like when Thor won, meh whatever, to each their own.

    OK, I never said Richmond was the best ever and people here are making it out to be a sleeper/bore fest. How many others were like Mendrisio? Evans attacked near the end of the race, and, per this very site, regarding 2009 "As is often the case in the World Championships, however, the race...

    OK, so when you raced, did you always stick you nose in the wind, wasting energy or did you stay tucked in the pack until you played your card? Yeah those two hesitated for seconds in the finale, which often happens, but watch the attack up libby hill or 23rd st, they tried to get on Sagans...

    Re: ??? Cause Matthews was faster? I am not sure what you mean.

    No balls? Some of you obviously never raced a bike in your life, maybe if you did more than ride to the coffee shop and eat donuts, you would understand bike racing more. Did you ever think perhaps EBH and GVA just didn't have enough left in the tank? Probably because they did work, unlike...

    Neither of you obviously know how to win a race, of course Sagan was invisible until 3K to go, he conserved his energy and played his 1 card, perfectly. Had he been animating the race, he would not have had enough left in the tank to win. No one said it was a break away, it was an attack in...

    Cav is...

    Ah... I see the problem. Being from the US of A and not knowing what to "slag someone off" meant, I ASSumed slag meant to hook, squeeze, cut off, chop, etc. not to insult. Then Dewulf said he raised it to another level meaning crashing HH in the T d Suisse. I stand corrected, you are...

    Cav is...

    ^^^ OK I'll give you the Haussler incident, so 1 time makes him an idiot or dangerous racer?

    Cav is...

    Yeah I snipped it and highlighted the point I was responding to, given the whole quote, how does that change Dewulf saying Cav slags people off and cuts into riders? That is what I was responding to. I am not a Cavendish fanboy, I just haven't seen/heard/read about people complaining about...

    Cav is...

    People say Cav is dangerous and cuts people off or crashes them out to win, can you list some examples where he slagged someone off? Cut off rider's lines to win the races he won? When has he caused crashed except for The Tour de Suisse which wasn't entirely his fault, Haussler played a part...

    Bahati screwed by Landis?

    I guess if you follow the no publicity is bad publicity way of thinking. I don't expect people outside the US to know about Bahati as he and his team is a local domestic race team. The owner of OUCH is best friends with Floyd, maybe the only one he has left now, so of course I would expect...

    Overloading of my Knee - illiotibial band syndrome

    If you are definitely suffering from IT Band pain, Kennf1 is dead on here. It's an overuse injury and you need time off, going easy will not help. I suffered from ITBS for a few years, mine also gets inflamed every so often. I stretch daily and use a foam roller as well as "The Stick" to...

    marathons vs. century rides etc...

    I agree with you. Having run several marathons before I switched to racing bikes, longer runs were something I really enjoyed but it wrecked havoc on my knees. And after running a marathon walking the next day was very painful. But I could never push myself as hard running then I can on my...

    Bahati screwed by Landis?

    The Bahati team rode a great race at Philly on Sunday, Rahsaan seems like a good guy and I know Bobby Lea is. I feel bad for Lea, wish he'd get on a solid team. Flandis is a fraud and scum, I hope he gets everything he deserves, unfortunately, yes I feel he is screwing others as well.
