Is the mass exodus from Columbia due to Cavs potty mouth?

I've seen and read interviews where he is a tool :p Na cav is a lil opininated at times, but he is good for the sport. firing up further rivalry between them and gramin in the giro was interesting.

EBH and Løvkvist leaving has nothing to do with Cavs mouth. I think especially EBH has nothing bad to say about Cav, and has big respect for him. They left Columbia simply because they want to ride they own chances.

Cav is young and brash, but nothing I have read suggests he is a bad bloke. He just needs to think before he speaks. But what he does do is hog team leadership (and rightly so) so no wonder people will want to leave.

I see Cavs dropped out of the Tour of Missouri. At least now he can concentrate on the next race that he will drop out of. Yes yes i know he is apparently sick. Lot of sick riders right now.
Im calling it now, he will drop out of the Worlds with at least 5 laps remaining.

At least Cav gives a good interesting interview, even when he's pi$$ed off. Remember in the 90s those rivetting chats from Indurain and Riis? "Er... well.. perhaps... we'll see... It was OK" Jeez Louise I slept better back then.

Too many quality riders on 1 team of which some are not getting the opportunity to lead and are having to ride for Cav so go to another team.

Burghardt is an example of that

What's the scoop with Cav? Normally he would have racked up 10 wins by this time of the season. Where is he?

missed january and most of february to have his teeth done. I think as well his season will be built to peak at the worlds. starting later this year.

Wow, so it is all TFF's fault - when he posted this back in September.

The missile will get his wins. He'll probably win a stage (or multiple stages) in every stage race he enters, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him win MSR and/or take home a rainbow jersey by season's end.

The Italian supermodel must have asked to improved his looks. His ex never would have asked such things.

It's not been cosmetic dentistry...he had an abscess. I read a pretty horrific account of the treatment of it as well, having the abscess dealt with while the anaesthetic wasn't working - like something out of marathon man :eek:
