Here's the quote: "He is an incredibly nice guy and it is a shame to say he is not a super good sprinter," Cavendish told Cyclingnews after his win in Arenzano. "I don't think he is at the level of me or [Alessandro] Petacchi." Taken from here. |

Can't just be LUCK |
But I'm not going to say 'Skill'. Definitely something dodgy going on with your picks. Maybe being too conservative is paying off | 2009-05-22 9:14 AM in reply to: #2167767 |
Master 1688 ALSAGER, CHESHIRE. UK | Subject: RE: Giro Stage 13 discussion thread -SPOILER ALERT!! Ha. Stuff that Jens. Talk about Cav pulling out after today's stage. Keep your hands off Petacchi with future predictions. |

Champion 6627 Rochester Hills, Michigan Gold member | Subject: RE: Giro Stage 13 discussion thread -SPOILER ALERT!! That was cool! A Garmin/Slipstream guy brought up nutrition to the guys leading the train...and wanted to get in the train, but it was wheel to wheel. So he gets in next to a guy, puts his hand on the guy's lower back, and SHOVE forward...instant gap in the train, he slots right in. Voila! It's so completely cool to see these guys go that fast in close quarters. Skillz aplenty. Other: I like the aesthetics of Schroder's Focus bike. That's sporty. Edited by rkreuser 2009-05-22 9:41 AM |

I've got a Focus and I've got a very good friend called Bjorn Schroeder. What does that mean? Sadly my Focus hasn't got the bling Lightweight wheels that Herr Schroeder has |

At least he got close to beating him. Edited by Jens 2009-05-22 10:09 AM |

Champion 6627 Rochester Hills, Michigan Gold member | Subject: RE: Giro Stage 13 discussion thread -SPOILER ALERT!! I predict...on the podium, he'll take an extra long drink of the Champagne, french kiss the girls, and shake the Directeur's hand while whispering "I withdraw" in his ear. See you in France, Cav. |

Member 161 | Subject: RE: Giro Stage 13 discussion thread -SPOILER ALERT!! Cav quote of the day from the BBC website Cavendish thanked team-mate Mark Renshaw for setting him up for the final sprint. "I got another perfect lead out from my team-mates," he said. "They spent a lot of time in the wind and did such a good job that I didn't have to go flat out. I was 80 percent."
But the rumor is now that he will pull out instead of ride the mountains J |

Hoping someone, or something, goes all Hindenburg on his ego. |
