Cavendish wins, Wiggins doesn’t

May 17, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

It was less than a week ago that I tried to get us all to appreciate the near-inevitability of a Mark Cavendish sprint win. I don’t think I managed it and perhaps the measure of…

Cadel v Cav

May 16, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

Apologies to the winner, Ramunas Navardauskas, but yesterday’s stage was a bit nothingy. There was a big break (not a Big Break – that would be unacceptable) and Navardauskas showed great strength to win from it,…

July 3, 2012 · by Alex · in Tour de France

One of stage three’s highlights was seeing Mark Cavendish bollock Kenny Van Hummel during and immediately after the intermediate sprint. Van Hummel had done a bit of a manoeuvre and Cavendish felt it necessary to…

July 2, 2012 · by Alex · in Tour de France
