After watching him in action in the Vuelta for the past few days (particularly in the TT today), his style is just terrible.. Dont care if the guy wins stages, he just looks like he is "horsing" the bike :roll: :roll:

Anybody else not like his style (or lack of it!)?

    He's a good rider but a plonker off it. He was recently busted for drink driving, not only was he over the alcohol limit, he was caught driving at double the set speed limit for the road and on top of this, he was using his mobile phone. I hope he can get of this slippery slope.

    Wasn't he going out with a 14 year old at one point :shock: :?:

    Yes, well sort of. He dated 16 year old Sophie van Vliet, daughter of former pro Leo van Vliet, organizer of the Amstel Gold Race. But, they already met in 2005 at some winter criterium in Curacao also organized by Leo, when she was 14. Whether anything happened back then......

    When it comes to cobbles, I don't think there's anyone riding at the moment who has a better style!

    And with a face like that, who cares?

    I always thought that Cadel Evans looked like he was fighting his bike all the time too - like he's scrambling to stay on top of the thing.

    Could probably go faster if he put that effort into turning the pedals instead.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    Sod the style, I'm waiting for a Boonen/Bennati/Cavendish shoot-out!
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.

    It's going to be boring because Cavendish will win.

    That's why the Vuelta is refreshing - You never know who will win.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.
