Mark Cavendish, the best UK cyclist?

Is the timing due to the anti-doping declaration that he would had to have signed if he'd stayed at Sky?

oooohyoubitch

Tony Martin is having flashbacks; "Don't make the Panzerwagen pull the little twat's train to the finish again uncle Rolf, please!"

Don't worry Tony, Bert Grabsch is over the moon about it and in his garden shed right now digging out that 59T big ring

Ain't no way this shit is going down for 2013 #shame

He's leaving Eisel behind at Sky, but what's the betting he'd ride with Cav anyways. If I was Brailsford I'd make sure the two don't ride the same races. Sky will be needing Eisel to look after Wiggins and Eisel would be trying to get Cav to the front for the lead out

Not a bad giro for cav.
Win number 100 and the points jersey.

This was great, I really enjoyed an insight into the most driven man in cycling. I particularly like Paul, I listened to him speak at this event http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/here-write-up-1.

fantastic public speaker, hardworker and logical thinker!

pre tour interview on Flemish TV - mostly English spoken

2nd in scratch race in Gent, not bad considering he's been on the road all season

good work

Just got my numbers that came with some tablets from omega pharma for the race, that Cav, I and others are doing.

^^^Formidable performance. Hope to see him both at the world's and the Olympics.

Anyone know if tonight's Madison is being broadcast on internet?

Posting link would be great

101kmh? Oof. Sean Kelly said the top speed he ever hit on a descent was 125kmh. Can't imagine traveling at that speed. Mind you with my shape it's probably impossible

Exceeding 100km/h on a 7.5kg plastic bike almost defies common sense... At least Kelly was riding steel.

Kelly spent most of his career on a Vitus, so aluminium rather than steel.

But 125 km/h on a noodle of a Vitus? Fuck that for a game of soldiers.

future team manager, for sure
