Mark Cavendish, the best UK cyclist?

I don't think Cavendish was at fault. It was a 50/50.

Well you'd be wrong. 100%.

Mathematics fail. 50/50 = 99.

Lots of 20mph riders talking bout 40 mph riding.

Wanna race?

For the crown?

Mark agrees with me...

'Rider who causes crash, in denial' shocker!

I'm waiting for the battery to charge for the hidden motor in my down tube before I try and break the 20 barrier....



I can see Cav's point-Hausler's wheel looks to slip out right at the same point as his goes left and then they touch-1cm difference and disaster could've been averted.

utter rubbish, the only way the crash would have been averted was if Haussler turned sharp left ( he was already slighty drifting away from Cav) the line that Cav took he was always going to hit him. If he wasn't half a wheel in front of Haussler they might have just bashed shoulders, Cav knew what he was doing, it was deliberate and stupid and ultimately costly when Haussler didn't back away from him

Clearly Cav's fault, he tried to switch Haussler to put him off and over did it. Bit of a dick move from a desparate rider lacking form, and as I'm a 45mph rider am I allowed to comment....

Wow, a local without Cav rose tinted glasses on. Refreshing.

What do you mean local? babydino's not from the Isle of Man, is he?

Hausslers wheel moves "at the same point as his goes left" because Cav fucking ran into him! Duh.

Abduspazz = rep

^ Agree. 9 times out of 10 that would not have been a crash.
I can hit 20 after a transfusion of Turbo Shandy.

9 times out of 10 Cav doesn't ride straight into other people.

For the crown?

Beer?

UK, British, English, Welsh, whatever.. they're all the same aren't they? :)

Yeah, like Australian, Kiwi, Tasmanian.

Dunno-can't claim to have participated in group sprints in anywhere near that context but I'd prefer to think it was a misjudgement than a deliberate attempt to squeeze someone out when the margins are so fine and risk that pileup on the line... Like I said, Hausler's wheel seems to move right (maybe to compensate drifting out left/force Cav back?) and Cav might be a bit of a nobber but he's surely not going to risk his own precious neck so readily as well?

I'm watching you.

^he's crossed a line.

Or has he?

Yeah, like Australian, Kiwi, Tasmanian.

They're all small islands owned by Japan?

Manxmen don't cross lines, ask Cav.

A man from Manx is called Manx. And the women................?

1. Cav looks and THEN moves. It was no accident. He was hoping Haussler would back off or slow or something.

2. Hausslers wheel moves because Cav's arm hits Haussler's.

3. He's been riding like shit and is desperate to win. Witness his desire outstrip his skill.

Somehow, saying "You little Manx", just loses its edge, ever so slightly.

I'm watching you.

I thought that'd wake you up :)

I haven't been awake for years.

their wheel's move together because HH's lever hood is hooked to the underside of cavs forearm, as he moves away and pushes down with his right leg he is still 'attached' to HH. this is why they move closer together and their wheels touch.
