This would actually make sense. He has been climbing okay this year.movingtarget said:Robbie McEwen made the comment that Cavendish looks to have lost too much weight and does not have his regular power in the sprints. Of course it does not help when he loses Renshaw's wheel. Two mistakes have cost him so probably have to see him do a good sprint before writing him off but it's not a Tour for sprinters and his chances are limited.

He needs to actually do some proper training, he needs strength now. And his positioning has been woeful this tour. I want him to beat the merckx record but I doubt itHayabusa said:He just needs to reinvent himself as a rider a la Hushovd in his later years when he lost his top kick. I certainly do not think we have seen the last of Cavendish.
I think that record is safe for now.Dazed and Confused said:As long as he doesn't beat Merckx tour stage win record, I'm fine.
Indeed. Up untill 2013 I was sure he was going to pass it but now it suddenly seems very unlikelyjsem94 said:He won't.Dazed and Confused said:As long as he doesn't beat Merckx tour stage win record, I'm fine.
He meant that none of the other nationalities with sprinters helped during back the break. They were all content to let GB with only 4 other riders pull back the entire break, even though other nationalities like Germany had a very good sprinter.Aboottarren said:Cavendish & Wiggins both rely heavily on their team mates helping them in races......in the Olympic Road race in 2012 neither of them excelled but Cavendish had the nerve to say "No one helped me" what did he expect in an "individual" race??
Nice try buddy. He actually said "no-one helped us".Aboottarren said:Cavendish & Wiggins both rely heavily on their team mates helping them in races......in the Olympic Road race in 2012 neither of them excelled but Cavendish had the nerve to say "No one helped me" what did he expect in an "individual" race??
