March 17th 2012 Milan-Sanremo - The Primavera - 298km

[rhubroma]

This is why Cavendish is not a worthy world champion, having won on a crapola course.

 

[Caruut]

Jeremy Hunt the only guy left with him.

He even accidentally dropped him for a bit, too.

 

[Frosty]

Correction, its Eisel with Cav (seemed more likely). Startlist on the official site had Hunt as 203.

 

[spalco]

Peloton has noted Cav's difficulty. Screws are being turned by RSN and Liquigas.

How unsporting of them.

 

[ChrisE]

lol they sacrificed Eisel for this ancor. lol

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Liquigas needs to hammer this right now. If they let Cavendish back into the group, they're crazy.

It doesn't matter. You think after this display he could hand on the Poggio?

Zolder and Copenhagen don't count in my book (as if my opinion matters).

Yep, not sure that was a good move to sacrifice Bernie for this, but you have to have somebody with the WC.

1:36, it is over

 

[Cancellator]

This is turning out to be a much more interesting race than I expected .

 

[Lexman]

So I guess he still had some fat on him.

that's what they say on Sporza, in the interview after Kuurne the journalist remarked he was at least 4/5 kilo's too heavy...

Even if he comes back, Cipressa will cost him dearly again...

The damage is done, and having just one Sky rider with him means that they gave up on him for the day, thumbs up for Sky for making a quick decision! EBH is the man now.

 

[stetre76]

lol they sacrificed Eisel for this ancor. lol

looks more like Eisel isn't really in any condition to help EBH....

 

[Trofinios]

Doesn't matter if they let Cav back, he will be crushed on the last climbs anyway. I mean the guy looks totally exhausted.

 

[Highlander]

1:36, it is over

Wow, I can't believe that it fell apart for Cav so quickly especially at a point in the race that wasn't seen as a critical point.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Eisel needs a medal for this. Just brought Cav up to the bigger chase group. Still far down.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

liquigas making me proud, so far.

 

[balkou]

It doesn't matter. You think after this display he could hand on the Poggio?

Poggio is more easy than Manie. And it's more a question of positioning. But he has to spend a lot to catch the group.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Farrah makes it back to the Peleton - unlike Cav yet

Peta Todd ‏ @petatodd
Keep the faith kids!!! No room for doubters here! #MSR #GOCAV #goteamsky

she can climb better then cav if she put a little bit effort imo

 

[Highlander]

Moving away from Cav, does anyone know the gap between the breakaway and the main group?

 

[ChrisE]

I think he will get back on. That peloton is stretched over half a minute.

2'36"

10 char

yes.. totally agree.

it's a pity.. cav has such a big talent.
in my opinion, he does not work hard enough. obviously, unlike andy, his raw talent can bring dozens of great and important wins, but he could so much better.
