Cav was never going to sprint he was looking for an excuse not to from 1km to go. Getting boxed in, letting his train go, letting the wheels he pretended to search for go (twice), this guy is full of excuses... Missile??? Wet limp noodle is a better name.

 

I think DD is his retirement plan. Needs to hand in his wings as he has lost the edge. No longer Top Gun.

He did a lot of head butting and shoukdering for a man riding on wet gunpowder!

He certainly did try for a while and was quite "physical" like you said. He however waited too long in my opinion  and was then swamped and gave up.

 

Personally I think he just did not have the legs and therefore the confidence to go for a long sprint. 

 

I am not writing him off as yet but he has a long way to go if he wants to compete with the top sprinters again.

Agreed. The look on his face suggested that he was already gassed before the swamoing happened.

 

To be fair he did react to the swamp but was already being bounced around like a skittle by then...

When did a sprinter ever make a come back? Their shelf life is limited. And there will always be the young guns coming up.

 

I think its more about Cav the brand nowadays, just having him start is what the value in him is.

Cav himself has come back after being written off - it looks unlikely but I’m hopeful for both TDD and his legacy
