But he may not be wearing his special helmet any more - http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cavendish-with-illegal-helmet-in-world-championship-race

the UCI gives and then takes away

ie give to Cav takes away from others - doubt it would have helped much but....

I say take it off the fat git

 

[Jamsque]

Cav would have won the Worlds even if he was wearing this thing

And he will own this season regardless of what helmet he is wearing or how thick you think his midsection is in January photos.

Yep, he'll own the WC this year. GB is the best cycling nation in the world after all.

From the live chat with Cavendish:

"

Well, that settles it then! A normal guy would've replied with some diplomatic "I respect him as an opponent and he's a great sprinter" or something like that but obviously not Cavendish

I know it's not to everyone's taste, but this is one of the reasons I like him. He's not afraid to speak his mind, and as he has the utter self confidence that he is the best sprinter in the world (which he is) and isn't afraid to say so. However, one man's self confidence is another's arrogance I admit.

From the live chat with Cavendish:

"Mark do you think Marcel Kittel will be faster than you this year?"

Cavendish: "No.

Well, that settles it then! A normal guy would've replied with some diplomatic "I respect him as an opponent and he's a great sprinter" or something like that but obviously not Cavendish

meh - I like his directness and his confidence here. He wasnt putting him down or anything else, just being confident in his own abilities.

Dont get me wrong - mostly I think he is a tosser .... but sprinters are pretty arrogant normally, and Cav more so than most. But I wouldnt even bother to sledge him for this.

It's been left out before though, the Roubaix route changes almost every season, depending on which sectors need working on.
