  • Fabio’s been back for a while. Give this one to the old comeback kid. It’s criminal that Cav is not getting a ride. If no crimes have actually been committed, it seems vindictive, at least.

    Maybe they’re scared of losing Fabio, but this is the best chance there is of ever breaking the Merckx record, and so it should be done for the progress of sport. Hulsroy is right, the marketing value would be immense. It would be Quickstep’s strongest narrative at this tour, esp without Jules there prancing around in yellow for a couple of weeks. Everyone would be talking about it every sprint stage until it happened. And then Cav would cry and hug Lefevere. Redemption.

  • I would love to see are Cav take a stage but I can see why he isn't on the first team. Winning a chipper national champs doesn't mean he is suddenly in a rich vein of form, though he does look pretty lean at the mo!
