Roger Ram Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 One of the all time great sporting achievements given his injuries and health problems, mental and physical. Must be odds on for sports personality of the year now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetfour Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 The Manx Nation should be, rightly, very proud. (Is there an open-topped bus on the Island?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 Astana were so on it from when I started watching, that was a brilliant team ride up until about a km when their sprint train got lost, but Cavendish followed Philipsen and then broke, that's an absolutely superb sprint from him. He'd have won a stage last year had he not crashed out, his form was clear for all to see, but that form has not been on show this season. Ultra focused on just one thing I guess. I fucking love the Tour de France. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what happens when you go from full power to noting. If he had kept going it wouldn’t have come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chain coming off means nothing is what I meant and you knew it. Some people have been suggesting online that he is lucky there wasn’t another 100m as his chain has come off. They are idiots, and that appeared to be what you were suggesting or why even mention it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will stick with my opinion which is shared by the ex pros doing the studio work for Eurosport thanks, rather than listen to someone I don’t know on a forum who I doubt has ever ridden a stage in anger.
