superman2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted on 09 July 2007 - 15:18 http://images.supersport.co.za/CavendishMark070708SignsGbg.jpgBritish hope Mark Cavendish has refused to let a poor start to the Tour de France dent his confidence. The 20-year-old T-Mobile rider, seen as one of the most promising sprinters in the bunch, was forced to change bike twice in Sunday's first stage between London and Canterbury. He also hit a spectator with some 20 kms to go and was then unable to get back in the peloton to take part in the final bunch sprint. "I was really furious," Cavendish told reporters ahead of Monday's 168.5-km second stage from Dunkirk to Ghent. "But I now am all the more motivated to win a stage, which I think I can do."

Poison Ivy Posted July 10, 2007 Share If I'm not mistaken he was one of the unfortunate riders that came down in that bunch pile up yesterday - was lying very still at one point, just hope he'll be OK to continue, I think he is trying so hard with all the presure on him.... I saw Vaitkus is out of the Tour, had an operation last night after the crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
