Thoughts on Cav in this year's tour?

[richwagmn]

Does Cav finish the tour this year and take the green jersey?

Does anyone see anyone else who can take him in a sprint?

Finally, Cav seems like a bright spot in the world of cycling doesn't he? Confident as hell, but always super appreciative of his teammates and their efforts.

Yea this year he'll finish, and take green, as well as a handful of stages.

His most recent interview turned me off a bit, but as far as sprinting, let me say this, I think we will see that frustrated look on Boonen's face a lot this tour. I don't think we will see one of these however: (referring to the premature ewinulation)

Thats gotta s u c k. Just ask the guy in the blue to Boonen's right.

50/50 on green. Depends on what Bennati and Freire show up. The injured Bennati and Freire or the top form Bennati and Freire.

3 stage wins, finishing relatively comfortably, and green. The guy has barely failed an objective on the road yet in his career can't see him starting now.

Confident/arrogant, yes. But I dearly want to see Farrar beat him in a sprint this Tour.

Yea, me too.

 

[Amsterhammer]

Yea, me too.

How bizarre. Me too.

I know Freire has come close, but I'm not convinced he's still got it. I am convinced that Thor has lost his hammer, and in the absence of Boonen, that only leaves Farrar to teach Cav a bit of humility.

Not that I dislike the boy, I just would like to see him lose a big sprint once.

Is Boonen definitely not riding?

Looks pretty much like 99% not. Can you see any French court or tribunal convening, hearing evidence, and reaching a decision within two days? He's certainly not on the official list published so far, though as we know, last minute changes are always possible.

Cav takes three or four stages bur Freire takes green with perhaps one stage. Hushovd second.

I guess I missed that bit of news in my obsession with Armstrong, religion, and being an ***. At least I am self aware, huh?

I guess reading the actual news at cyclingnews on occasion might hip me to things like this: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/french-judge-not-competent-in-boonen-affair

Self-awareness is a wonderful thing! It was nicely put.
