Surely you can't write Cav off after the two years he's had. Sure he hasn't won much but he's been ill for months, hasn't completed a grand tour for ages and sprinters need the form and miles in the legs. He is still probably the greatest sprinter to have ridden the tour and can still win the odd stage or two in a Mcewen style as there's no way his lead out train can match the others. He's always been happy to ditch his lead out if there's a better wheel in the past, this year might just be a bit soon for him after having such a stop start career for the last two years.
