Ha - I was trying to find that picture!
What was the deal with Cav getting a load of grief on that day. Did he pull a similar stunt?
Ventoso claimed he did, although no-one has been able to find any pictorial evidence of this. Rather archly, Cavendish said he didn't need to accuse Ventoso of cheating, making reference to the fact that Ventoso had been banned in the past for a positive test.
It's a stupid comment from Ventoso, every rider in the peleton benefits at some point from pushes, drafts from team cars, the 'sticky bottle' trick when handing over a new bidon, so why single out Cavendish?
