gooner said:Interview with Cav that will be on the Independent newspaper tomorrow:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/p...mpic-gold-at-end-of-the-rainbow-6917435.html?
Already cycling's most high-profile rider on the Continent,
The Hitch said:Cav does himself no harm in that interview. Wants to win MSR has a pic of the last rider to do it in stripes.
Zinoviev Letter said:He also explains to a British audience that while he really cares about winning Olympic Gold, it isn't that important within the sport of cycling. Fair play to him.
FreeWheelin said:It isnt? I have not followed cycling for all that long, but I would have thought that apart from a monument that the Olympic RR is the next biggest one day race... kinda like the Worlds RR but you only get a shot at it once every 4 years... but you dont get the rainbow stripes i suppose.
MartinGT said:Whats with all the Sky riders suddenly having blogs and articles for papers? Is it the 'Murdoch' factor or the fact the Olympics are around the corner?
I was on British Cycling website the other day and there was "Cavs first win" on there, was a little disappointed as they didn't have anything about Andy Fenn's first Pro win.
El Pistolero said:The Olympics are bigger than any Monument and bigger than Vuelta and Giro. Also bigger than the Worlds RR.

Kwibus said:Right now I only see Oman stage 1. All other stages are gone.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Seems to be some kind of filter on it.
Euskaltel! said:Schoolboy error...
So the Murdoch factor means Cav gets in the Independent and Wiggo in the Guardian?

Kvinto said:Dunno, i find it debatable. IMO in the case of the most popular sports (which the cycling is a part of) the Olympics are a bit separated event. If we're talking about swimming or athletics an Olympic gold is the biggest possible achievement but in the sports like cycling which has its big historical objectives this Olympic gold is worthy as a win at the Olympics which is of course very honorable but the Cycling has quite enough big goals formed through the history so i don't rate the Olympics RR as high as you do.
Yes, but with virtually no race rhythm he won't do much in the classics.Dekker_Tifosi said:Boom won't ride Vuelta a Andalucia as well, he absolutely does not want to miss his child getting born it seems.
For the people wondering how he will get ready for the classics then. Today he trained for 260km (!!) and he did 550km in 3 days...![]()
The Hitch said:I think Pistolero was being sarcastic. 2 months ago he went a good 10 pages arguing with me that the Olympic RR is worthless.

Kvinto said:Maybe i got the wrong end of the stick. I don't think the Olympics are worthless but refuse to rate it higher than the Monuments or Giro. For me the Olympic RR is just another way to hold the Worlds but only once in four years. Yeah, it's very honorable, an Olympic gold is a big achievement in any sport but it just isn't the most wanted one day race in the world. If you ask riders a simple question: 'what would you like to win the most?' i don't think many of them will pick the Olympics. Or another simple example: let's imagine that one cycling event will die tomorrow and you should make the choice between Giro, Paris-Roubaix, Ronde, San Remo, LBL, Lombardia and the Olympic RR. What would you choose?![]()
Gloin22 said:OlympicsMost countries give massive pensions for sportsmen from their country that won gold medal at olympics
All European countries give pension till their death after winning gold, amounts vary obviously.
Kvinto said:yeah, it shows how honorable an Olympic gold actually is. The problem being that The Cycling lived without Olympic status quite some time and i can easily imagine it without OG RR but i can't say the same about any of the Monuments or Giro
El Pistolero said:I know many professional cyclists who'd rather win the Olympics than the Worlds. Gilbert for example.
I got free tickets for the Olympics, so now it's important
I was speaking from a neutral point of view though, I personally rate the Olympics as high as a normal Monument, but
