    He did look down at his gears and was spinning furiously. Cav confirms he had a mechanical and doesn't seem too happy, says they have had too many mechanicals this year. Bet the team mechanics are pleased!

    Cav improvs his way out of trouble; Viviani, Goss, etc are beaten and handlebars get beaten in frustration.

    Boring stage until 3kms to go.

    Potty mouth. Arf

    Had a lot to do there, and those wins are always more satisfying and impressive. Nice one, Cav.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Was he hoping to get the football scores in the ear piece?

    That was an absolutely amazing sprint. True master class by Cav. Its like he has a 9 tooth sprocket and can power away from everyone.

    Yes, yes. But who went down and did they get back up?

    Good to see him win but once again OPQS mess up a lead out. No one to match him when he's on form.

    AG2R rider. Got back on his feet so with the way cycling medical attention works is was still breathing so presumably chucked back on his bike to finish.

    Sorry - mix up in my head. He needs to win the points for a full set. Good start anyway... :oops:

    Surprised you think that.

    I would have thought foul language would have been below tattoos on the FrenchFighterCharacter-o-meter.




    Fantastic win from Cavendish.

    What is the win count at now?

    Black... that horrible new Spesh one

    For a guy who cares so much about his wear on and off the bike I'm suprised he'd wear such an awful helmet.

    I'm sure back at the tour of Oman, Cav was moaning about the aerodynamics of the old specialized lid compared to other team's models. Maybe this has something to do with his choice?

    Sure does but I wasn't referring to him swearing as having character. Just in general - I really like his interviews. They actually contain information and entertainment rather than platitudes.

    Someone's still a little protective:

    Bernhard Eisel ‏@EiselBernhard 4m

    @MarkCavendish well deserved stage win and maglia rosa! Send home @BouhanniNacer before somebody gets killed! Stop him before its to late!

    Bless. Maybe a little bit of an over-reaction but love can do that to you... :lol:

    Cav-tastic!

    Also if the UCI dished out points for swears in interviews, between Brad, Cav and David M GB would top the rankings by some considerable margin. Year after year.

    Given that Anglo-Saxon is the mother-tongue...

    Thought that parcours was a trifle reckless. But starting with a road stage that one of the superstars of the sport could win was commercially smart.
