    On the other hand if he goes against the curve and wins big in the first week he could be in Yellow come July...

    Trying to think of a pun about him being in green but can't quite get there

    Can he turn green into yellow with age?

    Explains some of his more fruity celebrations.

    Needs to be carful with his hands in future...

    Needs to step it up soon or he'll be skinned alive.

    Though I'm sure he finds the prospect of being the big name apeeling.

    He wouldn't want to peel in the sun either.

    Presumably he'll be comfortable on Sundaes....

    Certainly no room to monkey about.

    I'll stop now.

    Don't have a pop at Rick, he might be thin-skinned

    With humour like this, we should be in the Banana cake stop part of the forum.

    Not sure. A bit split on that one.

    Look I get it. No one wants to see a naked banana. I mean, it just lacks appeal....

    Cavendish would have done better if he had gone to Sundae school.

    It's all been downhill since he started checking out Peta's knickerbocker glories.

    Well I'd still fancy his chances in a bunch sprint. I'd even have a fyffer on it.

    Ironic that he doesn't even like bananas.

    If Cavendish is really finished, he will only be able to afford holidays in a banana republic.

    Peeling myself laughing. Exceptional effort all round. How appropriate for a banana republic native.
