Cav - a disgrace

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

This is what some twat has posted on Eurosport.....

[quote]I think its a disgrace that track sprinters are allowed to compete in the tour. Its not right. On the flat stages Cavendish is dragged to the last km by his team. He gets sheltered the whole way and has no other responsibilities than to jump out from behind his lead out man 200 m from the finish. As soon as the road rises he's off the back. The tour should be for riders who are capable of making breaks, helping the team or riding for GC. There are plenty of riders who would give their eye teeth to ride the tour and here we have this arrogant upstart dropping out half way to concentrate on the Olympics. The Tour is a special race for the riders and viewing public, not some training exercise.

Probably drives a 4x4

hear, hear, I agree, get rid of all sprint finishes from the tour! make'em all up hill or throw in some hills before hand to break it up.

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

I mean what was he thinking of, winning 4 stages and not allowing proper riders to win

I thought it was a disgrace wearing black socks.

I drive a 4x4 and do not share the views of the author of the extracted piece. I believe this forum is a little anti 4x4 which is a bit unfair as some of us need this sort of car for our jobs

Who cares about 4x4s, its the sodding MTB riding, High Viz wearing commuters that piss me off. Particularly the one in West Wickham this morning that I had an altercation with. While driving my front wheel drive only motor car, bless it.

Sorry Adam, didn't mean to cut you up..
