    He was friendly but just didn't talk much- and was far from being fat :o

    You trying to say getting to ride next to the world road race champion unfun?

    Yoss, thats a bit harsh mate, apparently the guy on the scooter would have been Rob Hayles, he could have got you a discount in the Halfords in Stoke if youd have tagged along.

    Surely that would have made your day.

    I d pay good money to see Twiggo on a scooter wearing a fishtail parka.

    Ah man - if I'd have known that I could have asked for a discount on some new under car lighting for the delicious Victoria's motor. Bollox. Opprotunity missed. Perhaps next time ......

    Friendly but didn't talk much. Yup, the grunt of a douche. What a douche. Nah, not much fun riding next to someone who deosn't talk to you.

    Oh well, horses for courses I suppose. Personally I'd prefer to ride with some who's friendly, has a laugh and is encouraging. But that's just me.

    In fairness to Cav he was most probably just sick to death of people trying to be his mate whilst out trying to train. I have no doubt there are no end of people who'd love to try and force a chat from him whilst out training so that they can get straight on a forum when they get home to tell their cyber friends who they've just been riding with

    In fairness to Cavendouche, the public do pay his wages, so come on lad, be a bit happy and force as smile and a bit of banter out.

    You can't defend the indefensible. It's no excuse to ignore anyone - its just bloody bad manners.

    Bet he was happy to take HimMoz's vote for SPOTY though ……...

    Bet you two out of date energy bars and a worn out Look cleat that Zabriskie would have had a laugh.

    'Douche is a miserable old douche and I stand to be corrected. But I won't be. Because yet again, I am right.

    Hes been known to grump after TT's as he flat out hates them,a little effort to converse with supporters would do no harm. Good day or bad day I'm still a fan if the manx missile.

    Don't think Yossie's going to have any kind words to say about the scooter

    Wonder if Wiggo uses a Vespa with national champ stripes for his training?

    Well, yes and no. Sky and any personal sponsors pay the vast majority of his wages with British Cycling (or some other national organisation) giving him a bit too. If you don't have Sky or do the Lottery you don't really pay his wages (much).

    If Cav was to lose the Olympic gold by 1/1000th of a second, everyone who interrupted his training rides should send him an email saying sorry.

    Love how this has gone from Cavendish having his teeth out, to the perils/joy of cycling in Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire to Cavendish being a douche! Excellent!
