It seems that Cav's cornerboy behaviour has now spread to Mark Renshaw with him throwing headbutt's in the sprint. What's next - Tony Martin throwing punches? Where were these scumbags dragged up? Is cycling the new soccer?

renshaw's been kicked out of the TDF. Good for him.

really. Head butting and blocking out as Farrar had done to him today I thought was legal and common.

Renshaw totally cross the line... he is the best lead - out man but there is a limit! and he crossed BIG TIME that limit today... Head-butting and blocking others sprinters and lead-out men is not acceptable in La Grande Boucle... he is removed from Le Tour and should be banned one or two years from La Grande Boucle...

Looking at that video (winding it back to 3.40m), interesting to see how Freire is quicker to find Cavendish's wheel after the corner than the (4th) HTC rider next to him, immediately has to assert himself in that position to keep it, then gets the Dean-Farrar tandem next to him, and gets a friendly shove from Farrar that displaces him from the wheel he had.

i have seen this happen a lot though, i know zabel has done it, mceuan too. i think kelly may have used his head a bit in the past too.

this is sprinting.
