ponderer Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Guardian Quote "What the young Manxman is doing is as remarkable as anything currently being achieved by any British sportsman or woman in any field, and he deserves far more than the muted credit he is getting at home." http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2009/...ichard-williams I suppose given the relative indifference on the island we should be grateful that the Guardian comment at least accepts that Cav represents the whole of the British Isles ...

ponderer Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Cav now wins his first big stage of 09 Le Tour - only the second stage. Great team performance - but his final sprint was still awesome! Comfortable win from the 'Manx express' - the fastest sprinter on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Take Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hope he gets some wins that are a bit more competitive than that one - his team did all the work for him there. I know that's what they're there for but it's nice to see him just blow away the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sausages Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Should be good viewing tonight (ITV4 7pm every night for highlights) From the BBC text commentary: 1136 BST: Tour de France or Tour de Lance? Neither. It's official folks - 2009 is Le Tour de Manx 1205: Interesting to see Mark Cavendish thoughts on yesterday's frenetic finish. Posting on his Columbia team-mate Mark Renshaw's Twitter feed, Cav said: "Yesterday with 3km to go, Piet Rooijakkers (skil shimano) kidney punched me. Is he a:stupid b:crazy c:disrespectful d:all of the above?" 1605: Team Columbia leading the chase, with Mark Cavendish lurking near the front of the bunch, in green of course, too. They are cranking it up now and the gap is under four minutes...and dropping like a stone. Around 40km to go... 1615: Still Columbia working hard at the front of the bunch - the other teams are reluctant to help close the gap and set Cavendish up for another stage victory. They are just three minutes down now - the four leaders are going to have (a lot of) company pretty soon... 1626: Wow! Team Columbia have made their move - they've led a breakaway from the front of the peloton... 1628: Lance Armstrong and Maillot Jaune Fabian Cancellara are in the leading chase group, along with Cavendish and most of the Columbia team. The original front four are just 20 seconds clear and are about to be swallowed up. 1644: The gap from Cav, Lance, Cancellara and the rest of the breakaway to the peloton is around 27 seconds as they head into the last 15km. Lance is heading the group now too - there is certainly enough quality in this group to hold out until the end. 1701: Wowsers! Cav holds off Tom Hushovd by two bike lengths to claim his second win of this year's Le Tour and his sixth overall. He also keeps the green jersey, becoming the first British rider to wear it for more than a single day. 1705: Lance and Cav have a bit of a hug after crossing the finish line - it's been a great day for both riders. The 27 riders in the top group made some valuable time there and Armstrong and Maillot Jaune Fabian Cancellara earned some big time on Alberto Contador, who was back in the bunch.
