Wonder if we've ever had two Manx riders in a Grand Tour before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponderer Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 No stage win for Cav in Spain, but he is in the points jersey, just! ... 2 brilliant stage wins and now 21 points ahead for the Green Jersey (though Cav is concerned that Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Transitions) and Quick Step are ganging up against him to stop him picking up Intermediate Sprints. All good experience if he's going to challenge for Green in the TdF... "It was Cavendish's 22nd Grand Tour stage win in just 28 months, an orgy of winning professional cycling has rarely seen before".

Slim Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Last one with a cheeky bunny hop too! He's giving very good post race interview in these more recent wins, lots of team praise as always but the enthusiasm is coming through a lot more too.

ponderer Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Cav wins his first Grand Tour Green jersey in La Vuelta, although he only came second in the final stage. Brilliant achievement. Congrats Cav! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
