mark cavendish to ride 3 GT's this year

[on3m@n@rmy]

His sprinting position is really something else. Look at the side shot from the Champs sprint last year and you can see that his back is totally flat and totally level the whole time.

That IS a great view of his sprinting style. His head at times is often lower or at the same level as his a$$.

that sprint with that camera is what made me a fan of his sprinting style
btw shouldn't there be a camera like that in every sprint? its just epic

same with me dude

As much as I hate the guy, I will admit his sprinting style is the best out anybody elses. But I will never place him in the same class as other great sprinters as Pettachi or Cipollini

If I was sprinter (or any cyclist) and had the choice between most stylish and fastest, I'd pick fastest.

You can bet that coaches are teaching kids to sprint like Cav. D1ck Fosbury was also seen as 'ugly' back in 1968.

I don't think his schedule is all that ambitious - after all Tyler Farrar has gone to all 3 GTs for the last two years - but I think a bit of toing and froing has been done. Vuelta = worlds prep; Tour = green jersey focus, and ultimately the Giro is a race Cav (rightly) loves - he was very vocal in his complaints that the team made him ride California instead of the Giro. Since he likely won't finish either the Giro or Vuelta (there's little for him in the last 10 days of the Giro, and after this year he will probably quit the Vuelta in Asturias to prepare for the Worlds, unless he's in amazing form and thinks he can make it with the front bunch to Gasteiz!) then it doesn't seem like too bad a calendar at all; sprinters have much more opportunity to ride all year and pick up wins than the big GC men, because they can afford to conserve much more energy.

don't forget the cobbled classics he is set to ride too.

i don't think he did PR or Flanders, but i would need to look again. those races are what caught my eye about Cavs schedule.

5th at Flanders.
