Dirt Tracker Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 “I’m not going to lie, I think sometimes I’ve been personally picked at, but on the same level I’ve also been a prick,” Cavendish said of his rapport with the press. “But that’s what happens when you’re young, you know. For many years, I think I suffered the consequences of being brash and young, without an education in how to behave with media, I guess. As you get older, and get a family and responsibilities, you learn how to behave. “Unfortunately, some people didn’t want to let go of what I was like when I was young, even though I had changed. It maybe took time away for me to get that chip off my shoulder and for the press get that chip get off their shoulder. You actually see I’m a grown-up now. I’m 36 years old, I’m not a 20-year-old boy wanting to fight the world DIPSLICK, Chris_, Jewbacca and 4 others 7
Dirt Tracker Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 Just watched the sprint again and the way Mørkøv left Ballerini’s wheel because it was too early and forced someone else to take the gap was unreal in that pressured situation. He is such a master. Wonder if any journalist is brave enough to try for an interview with Bennett at the moment. Underachiever 1

stringbean Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 I have to admit I’ve been one of those “cavendish is done and should retire bandwagon”. Ive been made to eat my words and am genuinely happy for him.Looking at this TDF which has been absolutely brutal there have been a few ex Qhubeka guys that are having great rides.Which begs the question,what the hell is going on in that team. Just looking at guys like Cavendish,Meintjies and Ben.Good riders before they join Qhubeka.Join team and are absolutely nowhere.All 3 have been having a great tour since leaving Qhubeka. Is there a problem with management or training at Qhubeka???? Long Wheel Base, Underachiever, IceCreamMan and 4 others 7

Is there a problem with management or training at Qhubeka???? To be fair to Qhubeka they were a bit unlucky with Cavendish. He started of well and win 4 stages in the TdF during 2016 and the team must also take credit for allowing him to combine his road and track program in 2016. It enabled him to win an Olympic silver medal on the track during that year. During 2017 he bacame ill and from then on things went backwards ( Sagan incident, crashes etc.) Ben was not too bad for Qhubeka and won stages in the Tour of Alps (I think) and also in the Giro. He has improved even more since he left them though, like you pointed out. Meintjes was a total flop at Qhubeka. I have no idea why. The current Qhubeka team does not have enough quality outside Nizzolo and maybe Campenaers. I have a lot of respect for Doug Rider though, hopefully the new sponsorship deal works out and they can strenghten their team. Quickstep is a remarkable team with fantastic riders and management. To see a superstar world champion riding himself into the ground for a teammate in this era where we get so many prima donnas is refreshing to see. shaper and Vetplant 2

Lol, I am sort of morally obliged to support England even if the Liverpool captain will probably only be on the bench and I cannot stand the Everton goalkeeper.
