I'm going to set it straight here. Cavendish is the best sprinter in the world right now(even better than Petacchi). I know it, you know it, and he knows it. He's just saying it like it is. You forget that nobody has the responsibility to sugarcoat truths. Yeah sure, it comes off like a harsh statement but what if cavendish just said that farrar was a "super sprinter" while he silently considers himself a "super super sprinter" would you be bashing him then?

i agree that cavendish is abrasive but he bugs me less than he did earlier this season and certainly much less than that little a-hole robbie mcewen .

Please do. Always nice to get stories.

Cav vs Robbie MC = Cav doesn't annoy me as much. Kid's a winner, and one fast dude on two wheels.

Watching Cav sprint makes me want to race, that's good enough for me. No one can deny his respect for his team.

Dunno, but Wikipedia and a number of other sites report the age of consent in Belgium as 16:
