Cavendish closes in on Armstrong

[Joe Low]

One more stage win and Mark Cavendish will equal Lance's tally of 22 - could be as early as tomorrow. What a great achievement from a wonderful young man, who has, so far, avoided the taint of drugs allegations.

 

He produces the goods time and again with or without the team train. Great to watch.

[DaLoCo]

He deserves that....loved his comments in his interview, "bonus rider", "had to be plucky"....

 

Don't see Wheelsuck Sagan thanking team mates for a win they did not help him with, but Cav does it in any case.

Hey have to give Sagan some respect, yeah sure he aint making any friends out there but who at age 22, first time TDF have achieved what that laaitjie achieved in 2 races?

 

Granted im waiting for him to bomb on the mountain stages.

Something you want to tell us about your fellow countryman ?

 

He's a machine but left it to almost the last second yesterday, was very close.

 

I'm sure LA's record will be broken - soon.

[Wonder Woman]

How can you even compare Armstrong and Cavendish??

 

I must admit, Cavendish has only now finally earned my resepct as a sprinter. Took him a long time to learn to sprint without his "train".

[Mackie]

Well if Lance gets found guilty then even Robbie Hunter will have more stage wins than Lance.

[Cav']

He is an amazing athlete!

[Tumbleweed]

Lance is only tied fourth.

[TNT1]

I'm sure he'll brake Merckx's total of 34 stages before he turns 30

 

Jaysus. Abuse the language much?

I fix.

[jcza]

Will he pull out of the tour after 2 weeks to recover for the Olympics? Love watching him go and I can't see anyone hanging with him on the sprints in this edition of the tour.

How can you even compare Armstrong and Cavendish??

 

Yeah.

 

The true greats can win the Tour without winning a single stage. Or win every stage...

[Joe Low]

How can you even compare Armstrong and Cavendish??

 

Mostly for fun, and to show that you can do a lot of things with statistics.

 

Cavendish makes the Tour for me because he's British and helluva likeable now. Much like Robbie Hunter when he had that great year with Barloworld.

 

Sports fans arent sposed to be reasonable, so to be honest, the anonymous crowd of european stick insects dont do it for me in the same way, regardless of their obvious talent and bravery.

Keep your peepers peeled. I think he's gonna take a stage this year.
