tubed Posted November 21, 2021 Share I seldom get irritated enough to say negative stuff on this forum, but jeepers Cavendish is an egotistical, ungrateful pr*ck. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it ends in big tears with Lefevere, of course it will be all Lefevere's fault, just as it was Doug's, then Illingworth....... What will really piss me off more is if he uses mental illness again to excuse what is just at times pure prat behaviour when playing to the crowd no longer works. babse, DieselnDust, DNC and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't good! Even though at one point he pleaded a case with one of the senior sponsorship people to convince said "despised" Ryder to extend his contract.

DieselnDust Posted November 22, 2021 Share well this is why I'll never be a Cavendish fan. Even when he bounced back and won stages last year. I could appreciate the journey but it doesn't win me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't good! well TQA need all the exposure they can get, even if it comes from book launch clickbaiting. Even if they do somehow get some $$$ from somewhere, there's not many riders left. so Doug would need to go shopping here: https://www.procyclingstats.com/teams/no-team-next-year i do see CAV is top of this list. that would be fun Scary Rider and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see captain Birkenstock #alttour is also on that list. Throw in Phil Bauhaus and you have 2 pretty decent riders and one crowd favourite all in their 20's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No riders, no sponsor, way past the deadline, no news in weeks. I'm pretty sad about it. Being an expat is a little easier when you have a saffer team in the Protour.

Andymann Posted November 23, 2021 Share Would love to know where it all went wrong - There's no doubt that something went amiss from the MTN days to the DD days - the team just didn't perform. And there are far too many good riders who came to the team with high expectations and didn't perform, and a few more riders who started performing only after they left. Let's face it - if the Team was constantly right up there in the last few years I'm sure it would have been a lot easier to attract a new sponsor. Maybe one day someone will write a book and the truth will be told Eldron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
