C'mon guys, not only did he win two stages back to back at De Panne, he's now taken the two fastest sprinters scalps in the world. Give the guy some credit! This is an amazing win, but we shouldn't be suprised. He has been building up to a win like this for ages. He even got helped up by McEwen after falling over on the podium! Classic, a little too much of the bubbly perhaps??

Boonen came out from Roubaix saying he wants the green jersey at the tour. Well, he aint gonna get it if Cav's there! (assuming he might try to finish the tour this year, which is doubtful with the Olympics so close after)

What a star.

Hey we're right behind him Adam. I think the Green Jersey's a bit early though - but who know's his climbing is improving :D

Assuming he even starts the Tour this year, I don't think getting to Paris would even be on the agenda given the forthcoming olympics. I do think though that its perfectly reasonable to see him do a Cipo and win a couple of stages in the first week, then weave all over the first mountain like a drunk and pull out, handing the jersey to either McEwen or Boonen...

Quality cleat-slip-legs-everywhere clip. Thought the he and Wiggins were doing the Giro and then miss the Tour to prepare for the Olympics.

Have heard that he will ride the Giro, but that the Tour is not out of the question either, at least for the first week anyway...
