Cavendish: "I'm better rider than Merckx"

[thehog]

- Who's he kidding? With what team?

"I will try to outdo Eddy Merckx," said the rider from the Isle of Man at the gala and quoted in a number of sources including feltet.dk, politiken.dk, and SportItalia.

Hog, hog, hog! Another Cavendish thread!

Cavendish never said he was a better rider than Merckx.

You're just being naughty now.

Why do you love to misquote Cavendish so much?

 

[Mambo95]

Nice trolling.

All he's said is he'll try and break Merckx Tour stage wins record. At his current rate, he'll do it in 2014 at 29 years of age - so it's hardly an outlandish idea.

(Edited due to dodgy maths.)

Ha. At least its a blatant troll

 

[adamski101]

not at any point do the words "i am better than Merckx" appear in his quote.

Give it a rest now.......so you don't like Cavendish, fair enough, I think everyone has got the message now.

And that is enough reason to close this thread down.
