Will Cavendish finish TdF?

I personally feel that Brailsford is convinced Cav can win the Olympic road race and also that despite what Cav says nothing would be a bigger victory than Olympic gold in UK. As such I feel he will pull out of TdF when the race hits the first set of mountains or certainly before Pyrenees.

Also I know that you can't win Green and win Yellow and so this year there is only one focus for Team Sky - oh and Thomas won't be there will he, oh x 2 Eisel is still pretty useful as a yellow jersey ally so that means Cav will be all alone on those hills!

    He'll finish, but Sagan will win Green.

    I'd started a thread on this recently (just after the Giro IIRC)

    It'll be interesting to see have opinions changed


    I'm sticking by quiting on the rest day after winning 2 or 3 stages

    Apart from Cav's preparations for the Olympic road race Sky won't want to scupper Wiggins best shot at a TDF win by commiting 1 even 2 riders to towing Cav over the mountains.
