Teams & Riders Mark Cavendish Discussion Thread

[hmsgenoa]

I'm certain Cavendish is quite lucky to have such faithful supporter as yourself.

He is, I'll be waiting for him to see if he wants a can of coke on the Col du Grand Colombier and the Col du Glandon/Croix de Fer! (If he isn't training towards an Olympic win by then)

Seems like one of the admins is a Cav's fanboy so we can expect this thread will be closed sooner than later ... how sad

BTW Rojas won a stage today ...

I most defienetly am not :S i much prefer the fellow in my avatar.. but this thread got quite stupid and none of it was about cavendish.. also I am not sure we need 2 threads for every big name rider but this one is here so let's be nice to each other..

I'm sure Cav was protesting profusely in Itailian for them so stop pushing!

Good forum.

 

[MrRoboto]

Are both from stage 6? I guess Cavendish can thank the tifosi for making the time cut then.

 

[jens_attacks]

weren't these posted something like a week ago?
cav fought well no matter what.

I didn't see them. At any rate, the first video I linked to is something else. If it's a Sky staff member pushing up a rider for a cotinued length of time...

It certainly looks like he has Giro accreditation (the pink key hanger around his neck)

What is he doing?

 

[Fetisoff]

Goss 1 stage - GONE
Renshaw - 0 stages - GONE
Cav - 3 stages - Planning to stay till the end. Time to start an appreciation thread???

(And this is coming from someone constantly labeled as a Cav-hater)

 

[Fetisoff]

Thinking of doing sprint in Olympic track. Practicing track stands

Now we know how these sprinters survive all these mountain stages and still be fresh enough to sprint for the win on flat stages.

Galimzyanov must feel like an *** right now, you don't need EPO to get over mountains, just a whole army of people to push you over them.

Too bad they don't throw people out of the Giro for stuff like this, I don't care how many of them do it.

 

[goggalor]

I thought it was cool that he pushed on and finished that stage where he barely made the cut.. but if he's gonna get pushed around all of Italy he might as well go home.

Usually he's alright on hills and can come in grupetto but you gotta remember his crash and how affected the crash had on his body. He's better now and always came with grupetto.

Not wearing Sky uniform though. Wasnae the only one getting a push either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GhGCYIBWik&feature=related

Surely you'll agree getting a push from random tiffosi is not the same as getting a push from an accredited member of the Giro caravan, especially if that someone has anything to do with Sky.

 

[euanli]

If it was a Sky mechanic who got out the car and started to push him up the hill you would have something. But it looks like the guy was a random member of the tifosi so it is a moot point. What you see probably isn't accreditation but some giveaway from the caravan.

(link is a video of him from well before Cav goes by.)

I agree. Very impressive from Cav. Chapeau. Made the time limit by 20 too.

Here we go.

I think he's going to drop out of the Tour instead.
