one_ian_taylor Posted July 3 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3 Mark Cavendish. Incredible. Not just for the achievement, which is extraordinary, or the number of sprinters he has outlasted through his career, or even the new ways he has found to win, but for the guts and determination to have so many setbacks and still come back for one last go and break Mercx's record. 5 years to get to 23 stages I think, another 12 years to get the last 12. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Incredible performance; especially considering that British Cycling (the sport's governing body) declined to give him assistance when he first applied to join the World Class Performance Plan. They just went by "figures: age , output, fat content , even height etc, and he didn't make it. Mark you BC are infamous for poor decision making ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphouneso Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/andre-drege-dies-aged-25-after-crash-at-tour-of-austria Sad news from the Tour of Austria, 25 year old Andre Drege involved in a fatal crash on the descent of the Glossglockner. That’s two young riders in barely 12 months we’ve lost on mountain descents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Good stage in the tour today. I think Podge attacking was totally pointless and could harm him come the third week of the tour. He needs to be more calculated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
