I think he should just stop his career. But each to his own, and I guess he still earns a fair amount (fair as in quite a lot, not as in reasonable).

Thanks!
He was too scared as usual. Had free valley on the right side to sprint but couldn't help himself. Another embarrasing showing from him, especially with the remaining sprint field. Could be top-5 easily.Didnt seem to have any gas left at the end of the stage to sprint. Either that or he was too scared after yesterday when the guy in front of him started moving across slightly as he opened up his sprint. Either way, can't see him making Tour selection with Landa looking half decent

I really don't think that he is physically capable of being a top-10 sprinter anymore.He was too scared as usual. Had free valley on the right side to sprint but couldn't help himself. Another embarrasing showing from him, especially with the remaining sprint field. Could be top-5 easily.
Maybe, but i am more on the mental side of his woes...I really don't think that he is physically capable of being a top-10 sprinter anymore.
Did you see quality of remaining sprinters? Even your grandma would beat them and Cav had proper position and free path for sprint.Top 5! He couldn't beat my mother.
But he finishedStone dead last and over 30 minutes down today. Nearly 6 minutes behind the 2nd last rider...
Not good though.
Really I hope he's in a mentally good place and it's all just physical.
He was in great position, going into the final 1500m (after headbutting again, but whatever), and even before the actual sprint started, he had to let go because he couldn't follow the tempo. What is this?
He’s been finished for a while.Dropped from the peloton with 17km to go.
Finished.
