Ronda probably the least worse for him, but I think it's going to be like the stage Gilbert won last year, which makes it impossible to win for Cav.

Pricey_sky said:A shocking comparison. We all know Cav was at fault but there's no chance he tried to crash on purpose, he was going for the yellow jersey in his mums home town. It's a laughable accusation with the comparison to Suarez the icing on the top.
Vino attacks everyone said:neither did he say that. bad communication + Kristoff ain't that good in english.
Pricey_sky said:That would at least make more sense.
Vino attacks everyone said:usually idiotic statements are a result of bad translations/question asked in a language you can't really speak properly

neineinei said:Biting someone on a football field is in no way as dangerous as starting a fight and trying to run through another rider in a mass sprint. Both Suarez and Cavendish behaved like they were in their first year in kindrgarten, and made their parents look bad. Headbutters should have their helmet taken away and have to ride the rest of the season with a bare head.
Pricey_sky said:Well that obviously won't happen, it's against the law to ride without a helmet for a start. Plus your mouth is one of the most unhygienic parts of the body, you could easily pass on all sorts of things from biting and breaking the skin.
What Cav did was reckless but he was only trying to use his head to get Gerro out the way, it was much more of a lean than a headbutt.

neineinei said:Suarez isn't carrying rabies, and neither the skin nor the shirt was broken. Breaking someones neck by causing a pile up is a bigger risk.
Cavendish behaved like he was in a tricycle race in his mothers backgarden. He realized he couldn't win and lost his mind. What if he'd caused a pile up with Froome and Thomas in the middle? He got of pretty easy with just a damaged shoulder. He risked being hated by a nation. Now he is poor Cavendish whio has to have an operation and didn't get to finish the Tour.
Did he call Julien Simon to appoligize?

Pricey_sky said:Did Ferrari ever apologise to Cav for wiping him out in the Giro 2012? I remember very little fuss made about that despite being equally dangerous.
PeterB said:1. You do not remember well - it was discussed a lot
2. Cav's action this time was to directly interfere with another rider - i.e. purpose. Ferrari's Giro act was rather negligence - i.e. that he should have anticipated it may create damage, but his move was not directed against anyone in particular.
In any case, both were dangerous.

Der Effe said:Baby Cav gonna sue Kristoff now lol?
Kristoff only says what half the peloton is thinking.
Boardslide said:I don't think half the peloton or anybody else for that matter thinks he crashed on purpose which is what the possible legal action would be about. A stupid remark to make.

Pricey_sky said:Id say probably most of the peleton believe he didn't crash on purpose. It's just silly little riders trying to get a moments fame off Cav.![]()
