He is destined for greater rewards HOPE YOUR RIGHT AL. he has the commitment and focus that has been missing in UK sport of late. I had the pleasure of working with a young lad who was destined for "Le Tour" some years back, I was into athletic and we would meet up "on the road" occasionally, one Friday night I was on the road warming up for a race and he came along, we had a bit of banter and away we both went, out running on a road on the Sunday, he was coming down in the opposite direction, head down, going for it , a car had stopped in front of him to check directions............game over...............he had the same comittment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you having a laugh mate? Cavendish did well winning the sprints but sprinters never win the tour,they only win stages on the flat.Chris Hoy is the most succesful track cyclist in history.Well done Chris Hoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouse 282 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 cavendish should of stayed on the tour and he would of won the final stage on the arc de triomphe.he was too tired for the olympcs after giving his lot to win 4 stages.cannot wait to see him in the tour again next year.

I never tried to make light of what Cavendish achieved mate,he did brilliantly and yes he should of been recognised for his 4 stage wins,but i just think Hoys achievements at the Olympics were at another level.As i tried to explain, winning sprints on the flatter stages of the tour means nothing in the battle for the yellow jersey.The Irish tour veteran Sean Kelly was a great sprinter and won the green jersey on more than one occasion,but he wont be remembered in the same way as his countryman Stephen Roche.The tour lost all credibility once the drugs scandals started in the early nineties,and every winner lately seems to have dabbled.As for me trying to make it sound easy,well having done a bit when i was younger (57.53 for the 25 mile tt) i know just how dedicated any tour rider needs to be.Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
