Not that he needs defending but it wasn't his fault at the TdF last year. Cav kept his line (very straight) it's just that the barriers and road layout were pants and 'forced' Thor into him as it were. The Commisaires (sp?) made a crap decision - partly because they are racist against Manxmen and partly because if Cav had won the Green Jersey he was going to blow the lid off Lance's doping - he'd seen him injecting EPO into his eyeball - yes once again it was Lance Armstrong's fault).
Cav is normally really good at keeping his line and not interfering with other riders. Not sure what he thought he was doing here though (not that I'm blaming him - it just looks like he's cut across a bit)
Cut across a bit? He crossed a number of riders paths and clearly is moving into Haussler's.
And that stuff about EPO in the eyeball, blowing Lance's cover, etc.. wtf? source? That's some pretty sweet conspiracy theory.
I don't really like Cav. And I don't like the way patriotism wins him a bunch of apologists (not saying that's what you're doing, at all). He's not evil, just a bit of a douche. Wiggans though, there's the duder.*
*I don't know either of them, and therefore, I am talking total BS.
