Mark Cavendish, the best UK cyclist?

I think that EBH has a tremendous knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. If there's a final hurdle to fall on then he'll fall. He's such an all rounder that he doesn't quite excel enough at any discipline to get the win, so he trundles frustratingly through the season looking like an eternal nearly man.

I think if he'd choose a goal and train specifically for it then he'd have more results, but until then he'll remain on the tips of the commentators tongues and in the top ten of every race result.

This ^.

He's a very talented rider but no-one knows if he's a sprinter, a time-triallist, a GC rider or a classics rider, so he has a go at all of them but fails to excel in one.

Personally I think he's best suited for the classics as he's got the ability to put out short bursts of power that characterise classic winners. He just needs to work on his tactical sense.
