Mark Cavendish, the best UK cyclist?

hope you guys outside NL can see it, a nice interview on Dutch TV, sit through the Dutch bits at the start, the interview's in English

I'm so confused. It's like watching some sort of dream/nightmare...

eh... ? Dutch sounds bad to your ears? ;)

The band, the host, the conveyor belt thing and Mark spending 5 minutes talking about a Fiat 500 on a sport show.

haha, yes I agree it's not a sports show in the traditional sense. Other things on the show were a sports psychologist talking about Dutch gymnastics world champ Yuri van Gelder taking coke, a cocaine & sports(people) quiz and a female karate ka suffering from diabetes. I don't always like the host's interviewing focus or style, but rather enjoyed this one tbbh.

A really good interview. I enjoyed that. Wish we had thoughtful sports programmes in England.

Yes, slightly surreal, but it was good that he let him talk and he definitely came across very well. Terribly inarticulate in words but very articulate in action.

You mean?

No, more with things like the reasons why he likes Fiat Cinquecentos of all cars and why he does with his what he does. Just that he's more of a doer, not a talker. I also like it, quite generally, when slebs say unusual things. I suppose as cycling isn't exactly saturated with sponsorship yet, you still get some rough edges. I like that.

I hope all those that went to Chasing legends had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

Just back from Chasing Legends.

Birth of a new double act.

The Rolf Aldag and Brian Holme show. They were fucking hilarious!

The film was brilliant, really exciting.

Definitely one for Blu Ray in a few months time.

Glad you enjoyed it. I'll have to wait for the DVD.

Just back too. Awesome. Q&A after was interesting too, although the comedy double lost something in having to translate dodgy questions.

Cav: "No-one's ever asked me what I'm shit at". Lol.

a good film. bit disappointed there wasn't more cav-zabel interaction as he is his mentor.
some great riding shots.

He's got a Nike advert now too.....

Nice to hear a couple of " you knows' " in there, you know?

And what's all this pain bullshit, he's fucking around on the inner ring.

Ultegra as well??

^ Looked like 105

He's levelling the playing field.

He's doing next years tour on a lo pro with risers, or one of scobles contraptions.

Ultegra ftw

From the scum, but got me giggling...

I would.

I would.

I dunno,
hes a bit scrawney from the waist up. Does have a sexy voice though.

if Cav wins BBC sports personality I'll eat my hat (the soft Swobo one will be easiest to digest). public ain't interested in cycling unless its Olympic gold. travesty!

Gee and Rachel Atherton have got to be up there somewhere as some of Britain's most successful on 2 wheels.
