One of the nicest things about Cav iis that he's not always been like that and has become a more gracious person as he grew up and gained more experience.
In many sports, a competitor who was a bit of a cunt in the past is always tarred with the bit of a cunt brush. Cav has become more liked and endearing as his career progressed. Not a common thing in the world of sport imho.

I don’t know if other stage winners/sprinters are like this, but the thing I love about Cavendish is how quick he is to praise his team mates for getting him to a position where he can do what he does, and how genuine that praise is.
It never seems to be about what he’s done or how he’s done it, more how he couldn’t do it without this riders help, or the teams help, or how hard they’ve worked and he couldn’t let them down.
