Teams & Riders Mark Cavendish Discussion Thread

Page 148 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
Really, makes no sense to me, but then perhaps I,m not bright enough.
Basically;
A Belgium team bring Cav to the Tour last year when it was being theorized for months if he would go
All talk is on if Cav can equal or pass Merckx’s 34
Cav wins 4 to equal Merckx gaining huge publicity with each win
Quickstep then doesn’t work on two stages to set up for Cav breaking the record in Paris
Cav gets boxed in behind WVA by Belgium riders

Ofcourse he will go when he is in the same shape as he is now. So many things can happen: crashes, out of shape, etcetera. Even a potential Giro won't complicate a possible Tour too much:
Who knows Cavendish will start the Giro with the plan to drop out after 10 days / 2 weeks just to rack up some stage wins?
It's all very easy: Quickstep won't deny an in-form Cavendish, and it's just up to Cavendish to peak at the right time.
