Read on Cycling Weekly that Cavendish has got a new girlfriend, after being together with Melissa for 8 years.
http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest/427346/cavendish-keeps-on-winning-awards.html

Also read in Pro Cycling that he has bought an Audi R8, which in his book he writes he would never do.

Himself, in his book, and people around him has always stressed that he is a normal guy with his feet on the ground.
Has Mark Cavendish changed?

Yes interesting because I saw him interviewed about six months ago where he said he won a car that he thought was a bit flash so decided not to accept it just in case it "changed him". I though that was a crap idea. You've got to be able to enjoy the fruits of your success. If he has changed his mind about this then good on him I say.

I dont know what you mean - there was a rider called Cippolini, but he was refered to as 'Cippo'.

Unless you mean the reference in the Urban Dictionary... which could explain your fondness for 'chicken' at 2am.

Who cares what car he drives as long as its not some obnoxious Hummer with "rims".Id be hard pressed to find someones ego not change after winning all those races.He earned it.Sucks for his ex girlfriend after being there for him.

so hes got a new girlfreind.. woopy doo... are we all meant to meet someone at 16 and stay with them all our lives.. how dare he have a girlfreind,....

as for the car, has he, hasnt he, who knows, frankly i take what i read in the press with a pinch of salt, but if he has, good on him.. he deserves it

as for the new cippo, well for once mark has finished the tour de france, but if he turns into half the rider cippo was then for one, as a brit i will be damn proud of him...

some people need to get a grip..

You can tell late October is upon us all. There is nothing better to post about than who is sleeping with who and who is driving what.

But, for the record, I vote for Cav over Cippo in the style department. I am wary of anyone who has to be as overt as Cippo to show some panache. One the other hand, those were some pretty cool skin-suits.

He has a BOOK...? About what, his life (if I have to make an educated guess)? A ghost-written biography at 24?

I really hope I am wrong...

Boy Racer?! :(

Sorry no style points for that

british term, that makes perfect sense over here, boy racers over here are generally young, brash, cocky teens, often from slightly the wrong side of hte tracks with a bit of chav about them, who annoy the crap out of every one by driving around with their stereos blaring and engine reving at silly hours of the morning..

so a top cyclist must not:
get new girlfreinds
buy cars
write books...

anything else (apart from the obvious dont get potentially terminal diseases)?

I thought they were called yobs (although in his defense most of them are unemployed and carry around knives...). The way he behaves after finishes, there are certainly some similarities.

But honestly, a biography at 24. It's like a 16 year old Britney Spears singing about love...

I am going to guess the storyline here (perhaps warranting a spoiler alert), so can someone confirm:

-Introduction: the story of my life, how I became so great
-Chapter 1: I was young and grew up in a poor environment. I hated school and I did not have a lot of possibilities. Everyone is a farmer or mechanic around here. I loved to watch cycling.
-Chapter 2: I started riding a bike and loved it. I trained really hard every day, out in the open fields battling the wind.
-Chapter 3: I joined a cycling team and started racing. I went to every race in the UK even if it took me hours to get there. More and more hardship I suffer.
-Chapter 4: I am not that good, but it's all because the others have better bikes and facilities and I am poor, so I just have to work harder.
-Chapter 5: the track team. My coach believes in me, and pushes me to the limit. I need to work on my attitude, because I am a difficult person.
-Chapter 6: Some set backs. Will I ever make it to the top?
-Chapter 7: To the road. People believe in me as a road sprinter. I take my one chance and prove them right.
-Chapter 8: I join Columbia and they work for me. I ride the TdF and I am the greatest at 24.
The end.

Summary: I have a dream; Much hardship; I work hard; Setbacks; I become successful.

God forbid he begin to take advantage of his success. At least he is dating some hot Italian chick, not some wannabee WAG reject from Big Brother 6. Until he starts getting into fights with all the ****ed up premiership footballers in awfully exclusive nightclubs I think I will reserve judgement.

Really, who cares what he does off the bike unless it effects his on-bike performance. Just stay away from the cocaine, a la Boonen.
