I paraphrase but he was saying that Cavendish isn't a great sprinter and that he was lucky to be part of a generation without decent competition and that's the only reason he won so many tour stages in the past, and now that Kittel and Greipel are around he's not likely to win any more.
I thought Cippolini had got over Cav cycling one legged past him in a TT ?
Look at the love back when Cav won Milan - San Remo
