    I don't like his persona, but I respect his ability on the bike. Fair enough he needs a team to drag him to the finish line, but there's no-one in the world that can out-sprint him, proven time and time and time again. There's simply no denying he's a class act at what he does.

    You don't have to like someone's personality to respect them as a sportsman, and I'm sure he doesn't care if you like or dislike him.

    Were you by the roadside today? :twisted:
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Unfortunately not - crap hats got in the way. Got to electrocute someone though so all good fun.

    Yup - GiantM did it years ago - we tend to mock him occasionally about it but he did alright to tell the truth.

    I used to be a Screw, The last time someone threw a pot of piss at me, on opening a door I developed a reflex involving an extendable baton and their thigh. Like I said used to be.

    There is no lower human act in my view, and Cav did well not to chin him. I have the same view and reaction to being spat at in the face whilst playing football, unfortunately I cant carry an extendable baton doing that.

    +1 (except I wasn't a screw, but I have had p1ss throwh over me at music festivals :x )

    The act is disgusting and anyone doing it deserves a sound thrashing !!!

    The Dutch are, of course, famous for their sense of fair play.

    <cue picture of German 'keeper taking out French bloke. Or the concentration camps.>

    One of the two I suppose.

    I tried to find a picture of Ropy Keane snapping that blokes cruciate so we could have a "Yer gotta love the Irish" post as well but couldn't be arsed.

    Personality goes a heck of a long way. I do not care how successfull someone is, it does not give them a right to act like a tw@t. In his first years as a pro, he passed Cipollini in a TT and pulled his foot out of the cleat and wiggled it just as he passed him, how disrespectful is that?
    When Hushovd won the green jersey, did the peloton 'let him go' so that he could claim the intermediates on that wet rollomg stage that no sprinter should have managed just so that he could get the Green and prevent Cav?
    As professional rider, making enemies in the peloton is a very bad idea considering you have to race with them all year round. Remember Robert Millar (superb cyclist) in the Vuelta? Is there any chance per say that if he had not been such an awkward sarcastic plonker of a man, he would have won the Vuelta that year?

    I think that truth is different when within the circles.

    I can assure you that I have been involved in many aspects of famous and successful people and in almost all cases people have been trodden on to allow others to get to the top.

    I am not saying this is the pinnacle of social behaviour but its fact. Most of the sportsmen we all adore have put themselves first and disrespected the opposition on more than one occasion I assure you :)
