What cynical? This guy even bumps heads with opponents (risking 70 kmh accidents), or takes them out intentionally to crash. What a sick sick person he is...

Sure he feel bad that Canc took yellow.
Do you really think he remembered it and just couldn't be bothered for a team mate?
Sure, he forgot about Tony's yellow jersey, but the point is he shouldn't have.
Etixx had Cav, Tony, Rigo, Renshaw, Styby, and Kwiato in a lead group of 24... and Cav can't remember to at least come third for Tony.
Not saying Cav didn't totally f up, but some of the comments here are just so cynical towards him...

The starting point should start with what he was thinking for the sprint, himself or the team.PremierAndrew said:Vino's Mum said:PremierAndrew said:dicanio_michael said:Nice try, but he sure knew what he needed to do.

but of course the german monkey that nobody likes wins the stage
Well I like him! And I'm glad he beat that egoistic idiot Cavendish!
I do too. Seems like a nice guy and has the best attitude among all the big sprinters. I like what he did with his early season this year as well as he was fun to watch in the Classics.
It is plausible that he was spent sprinting from 400ILovecycling said:Cav already strikes on twitter from his bus or shower or something lol
yep, but it doesnt change anything on the fact that he didnt pedal in last 15-25 metres tho.Happy dude said:It is plausible that he was spent sprinting from 400ILovecycling said:Cav already strikes on twitter from his bus or shower or something lol

Too bad I am not on twitter. I would tell this genius who the real imbecile is. This hack took off in the split second he realized no shot at winning, after that he looked if he was still 3rd or whatever his "thinking" was.
He never admits mistakes, even after taking out opponents that crashed hard because of him. My hope is, before he retires, he will be payed back hard. I hope the peloton never forgets what a a-hole he is... Armstrong like proportions...

He's a sore loser, therefore he should "be payed back hard"? This is too much.
