I'd put Farrar as second or third best sprinter around at the moment.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
I know for a fact he is a target for sky for 2012. I think the only sticking point will be cav himself and they are showing everyone they have a decent train already by their performances in races. They can do the work well enough for cav and I can't see him going to bmc.0

OK. But that's 3 years into the 5 year plan and how will building a train for Cav get a Brit winner of the TdF?0 -
I would not be surprised if Highroad cuts him loose next year. He is bad PR for the sponsors!
cavendish is likley the reason Columbia pulled out of HTC. I am proud to say that i was involved in a letter writing campaing to Columbia expressing my concern about his lack of professionalism (we all know his bad acts... taking out other sprinters, dangerous riding, foul mouth, finish line antics, childish tantrums, etc etc etc). So happy to see HTC jerseys looking so drab, cavendish repeatedly falling off renshaw's wheel, and cavendish's refusal to contest the sprints when he is not perfecty delivered. Here is to more of the same in 2011! cheers!
p.s im starting a new letter campaign to HTC. With luck Highroad wont have any major sponsers next year!0 -

Either this person is a troll or otherwise he's not a cycling fan. Cav lives and breathes cycling and I find his enthusiasm infectious. How nice to have a top British rider who is also an entertaining character.0 -

@ cornoyemade
Starting another (another?) mail campaign to get a man fired from his job or disrupt his livelihood when he has done no wrong because you don't like him?
You are a cowardly excuse for a human being.
With your first post too.........
Hmmmmmmm........
TROLL ALERT!

Cav is a sponsor's gift- enthusiastic, vivacious, sexy, good-looking, always has a word or ten for a reporter....oh, and he wins a lot.
What's not to like? HTC adore him.0 -

Nice wind up first post
The sponsers love the attention Cav gets.
Slighly off topic but i can't get my head around it. I know Cavendish wouldn't want to be at his absolute peak untill summer and i can understand him not being sharp but what advantage can be gained by being so off the pace at the moment? There where reasons last year. This season, maybe a bit unprofessional?Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0 -
Would he leave HTC tho' where he has all the back-up especially Zabel? HE won't get a look-in at Sky.

But for the record, this is not the case. I'm not going into chapter and verse but Columbia were very pleased with their deal from what I hear.0 -
i think if cav moves it will be to sky, but i think if that does happen it will be after another poor wiggins performance at the tour if he goes well i think they'll want to back him more than have a star sprinter and gc rider in their team.
Anyone else think he is riding all the gt's so push up the points so gb have a big squad at the worlds0 -

I think he's riding them all because they are not sh!tty liittle races.
For both the Giro and the Tour it suits him to ride them and it suits his sponsor so any points he gains for GB in the rankings are a secondary concern. He'll be riding the Vuelta mainly to prepare for the Worlds (I think the last ten world champions have all ridden the Vuelta as prep?).
This year is probably the best chance he'll ever get of winning the Worlds so the stronger the team he has the better. His countrymen have come up trumps so far too, as Swift and Wiggins' podium positions at the TDU and Paris-Nice respectively have earnt GB enough points to be third in the latest nation rankings.0 -
According to Belgian commentator Danny Nelissen (on twitter):
"Transergeruchten Cavendish heeft een voorcontract getekend met Team Sky... Ze zijn er vroeg bij!!!".
Translation: Transfer Rumours Cavendish has signed a pre-contract with Sky Team ... They started early with this!

Wasn't there talk he'd done this before and bailed out?
What is a pre-contract anyway....Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
Cavendish to win something in Belgium before the month is out. ?? (or maybe the 6th April)Organiser, National Championship 50 mile Time Trial 19720

Maybe and no idea*. But it's worth noting on this thread.
*Although in football, players in their last six months of their contract are allowed to sign a pre-contract to join another club (once the six months are up). How legally binding it is, is anyone's guess.Twitter: @RichN950 -

A bit like a pre-nuptial?iainf72 wrote:What is a pre-contract anyway....
It'd be interesting if this happens as some guys at Sky are going to wonder if they'll have their chance of whether they're going to spend 2012 as Cav's lead out train. The likes of Sutton, Henderson should grab the wins whilst they can.
Plus remember why Wiggins, Boasson Hagen and Rogers all left Bob Stapleton's team, one big factor was not having to work for Cav and Greipel all the time.0 -

Aah...I was not aware of that. Thanks for the clarification 0 -
He's one of the riders for whom it's easier to list the teams he hasn't ridden for than those that he has! 7 teams in 10 years or thereabouts.0
