High praise from Friere today:
“It’s always important to win at the Tour. Even if Mark wasn’t in the sprint, I don’t want to say that it was somehow less important. I haven’t felt good since the Tour started and to be honest, today is the first day that I felt good since the race started,” Freire said. “Mark is having a great Tour, but I don’t think even he expected to win four stages as easy as he has. The sprint he made yesterday (into Nimes) was like something I haven’t seen very many times in my career.”0 -
Right Cav, get the Olympics out of the way then I want 100 laps of the Cipresa and The Poggio before the winter comes. The champagne is on ice.0

and if he doesnt win the green jersey for the next ten years then we can all call him a hopeless t**sser.0

Confirmed on 5 live just now.
Well done Cav and thanks for making this tour so memorable.0 -
Before the Tour, 22-year-old Kreuziger said he'd pack in after about 10 days, but stage 10 came and went and he was still there. Days later, 21-year-old Augustyn, another possible drop-out, was also was still hanging in there, as were similar-age riders De Gregorio and Ciolek, when, at the beginning of the 15th stage, Mark Cavendish pulled a coup and beat his main rivals in the 'who'd pack in first' competition. Another win for Cav! Another victory for Britain!0

Are they all in the Olympics too :?:
Kreuziger finished the Vuielta last year in about 20th place so i think he may have always thought about going all the way. De Gregorio has finished the tour before and is a climber0 -
How many of those you mention have also ridden and finished the Giro this year? That'll be none then. :roll:knedlicky wrote:Before the Tour, 22-year-old Kreuziger said he'd pack in after about 10 days, but stage 10 came and went and he was still there.

It doesn't matter if 50 20 year olds were still riding. He's a sprinter and many pull out come the mountains. Only he's won 4 stages. Comparing him to Kreuziger or Di Gregorio isn't right.
Honestly, some people seem to hate the guy, I don't get it.0 -
Is it a Brtitish thing or a cycling thing? I'm sure people will have what they think are valid reasons to hate him but why can't they enjoy what he's done? Maybe he should have juiced up and got himself over the mountains?0
