Wow Dave, that must be some hangover to last two full days.
afx...ok, well...I did get out the wrong side of bed this morning..no hangover...but start of the year pressure. I do feel Bikeradar has to keep some standards...Hoy's achievements and award are beyond question other than by one who simply wants to provoke for the sake of it.0 -

Fair enough...but insincere postings suggest a provocation for the fun of it...but I accept your right to disagree with me0 -

To be fair, I don't think anyone in this thread has questioned Hoy's achievements as a cyclist, his contribution to British cycling, or his position as a role model to future cyclists. He is all that, and a nice guy as wll.
The only thing people have questioned is the decision to award him a knighthood at this moment in time, when he still has years left of his career. I think that's fair enough, but then I'm not particularly a fan of the honours system in the first place.0 -

to me Hoy deserves the highest honour any country can muster...agree the honours system is odd...needs looked at...does the Queen have to be involved?0 -

That's fair enough Dave, we all deserve an opinion. By the way, I don't live under a bridge....
Further to your point, is the Queen really involved anyway?
I would have loved to have seen Mark Cavendish honoured; 4 wins in the biggest race in the world and an otherwise exceptional season, I feel that he's been overlooked somewhat. Maybe his honours will be in the future though, after all, there's plenty of riding left for him to do...0 -

Me too . Hope so .
However , it's been touted that he maybe a contender for the TdF 'green jersey' in the future ( and that in itself won't attract the attention of those that dish out the gongs ) but is there anything to suggest he might be anything more than a 'one trick wonder ' i.e. the final killer sprint ? Are not TDF green jersey wearers usually more well rounded 'cyclists like Sean Kelly . Cav doesn't appear to be able to ride hills with any confidence .
The only race I can imagine him doing better than he did this year in 'le tour', is - if he got lucky in the dash after surviving a few easier than usual hills - the world champ's in some distant future ."Lick My Decals Off, Baby"0 -
If McEwen can win a green jersey (or 3), then I see no reason why Cavendish can't do it too. They're both similar in terms of climbing ability.
It may not be this year, but the Tour just needs to have an old-style route with four or five consecutive flat stages in the first week. That'll give him an opportunity to build up a lead, which gives him more incentive to fight over the rolling/hilly stages that suit Freire or Bennati a bit more.mercsport wrote:The only race I can imagine him doing better than he did this year in 'le tour', is - if he got lucky in the dash after surviving a few easier than usual hills - the world champ's in some distant future .
2010 Melbourne is supposedly flat. Distance could be an issue. Can't recall he's ever ridden a race over 250km yet.0
