Patchelicious Posted March 9, 2018 Share Maybe those haters should look at the charity work he does/is part of behind the scenes when not racing....One can be a dirty rider on the bike and a good person off the bike, they are not mutually exclusive. He gets kudos for the charity work, it comes with the territory.He get uphill for his riding and moaning, it comes with the territory.

Cavendish is a very confident and bold person and his riding (sprinting) shows exactly that.. That is probably the main reason why he is so often involved in crashes..... but also why he has won 30 TdF stages + many other races both on track and on the road.. Sprinters are often not mainstream....a bit like drummers in rock bands or goalkeepers in football.... Geronimo and Patchelicious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look people are different, and people see other people's difference differently too. One person's "confinement and bold" could easily be seen by another person as "arrogant and brash"... Lekker thing about people, we all see the world differently Geronimo and dsw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 9, 2018 Share Cav's fractured some spare ribs in that crash Eish Edited March 9, 2018 by 'Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geronimo Posted March 9, 2018 Share Cav is cocky but he is interesting. Gives people something/someone to talk about. He is not a doper and he has balls. Good for cycling in general and like Patch said we all different and we all see things differently. I find Cav an interesting character and I'm not that great a fan of Sagan. I don't dislike Sagan and will be the first to acknowledge how good he is. It's just a personal thing like Patchelicious said. dsw and Patchelicious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus Posted March 17, 2018 Share That was one serious endo. Not that I'm an expert, but possibly leaving the bike behind like that was a good thing? Tuck n Roll? T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
