Mark Cavendish wins Milan - San Remo 2009

[timthecyclistable]

I felt so sorry for heinrich he deserves it more than cav :(

[tigerarmyrule]

@timthecyclistable No he doesn't. The winner deserves it. Cav may not be everyone's cup of tea but the sky is the limit for him. TDF stages and sprinters classics are always at his mercy if he gets it right. He is a superstar.

[Driezzziiiii]

poor haussler

[josuevalle111]

this guy is very determined, he knows what he wants, and he will get it no matter what.

[TheMimifur]

And Cav is Champion of the World and even some doubters are praising him now.

[TheMimifur]

Watching this on a loop having just heard about the death of an old friend. Tears are streaking my cheeks and this is where I want to be.

[cnaptakmockba]

you have to feel for the guy that lost as in his mind he clearly thought he had this race in the bag, but of course with someone like Cavendish hunting you down...........and to lose by such a small margin after such a huge lead well I would be gutted as I am sure he was. I am looking forward to this years 2011 TDF to see if Cavendish can again take the last stage of the race.

[mtbryanmtb]

deffitly the winner for 2011

[stephenm8270]

cracking tribute 

[hzuhairy]

Haussler got mugged.

[MartFish]

I still don't understand how he managed to win this! His mental strength is phenomenal

[zafiroyrosas1]

esas lagrimas me conmovieron mucho.... lagrimas de felicidad y agradecimiento seguramente....

con solo eso....me supongo que este niño es una persona linda.... es emocionarse por un logro obtenido...

y es expresar lo que uno siente... no siempre las personas son muy expresivas,..y menos los hombres....

agradezco esas lagrimas y preferibles hombres con corazones sensibles que hombres con corazones de piedra.

[MartFish]

What are the chances of a better quality vid? I love this

[kilomeister]

the green jersey should be for a pure sprinter. cav has been the first man to finish le tour two years running. double points for the champs elysees victor.

[iamhippo]

Wow, look at the distance he had to cover to win.....amazing.....

[MegaMrMee]

Ive seen this race a million times but i cant understand how he could do this....AMAZING!

[jivejoshegcc]

go cav

[blairkivey]

Wow.

[Beevee64]

Proud to be Manx

[aldrinstaana]

nice

[podvop]

1 of the best

[Ghuss31]

power in person

[rozzer32]

to be fair haussler didnt try and go for himself. He sprinted to give a leado out for Thor. If haussler had known that thor couldnt follow and would have waited then I think we would have won the milan- san remo

[benofhouston]

Cav is brill but the wierd thing is that all the british vids of Cav are of his bloopers so most cycling lovers live on the continent. Some people say there are very few fam,ous people from belgium who r famous but we need to look no further than Tom Boonen and Wouter Weylandt but neither of them r better than the one..... the only...... THE MANX MISSILE!!!!!!!!!

[hater1245]

The overhead shot of him leaping off the peleton and onto hausslers wheel is beautiful

[genderpretender]

what a win

and im no expert but i dont know why people give cavendish sht as a cyclist - hes a pure sprinter and doesnt pretend to be anything else - the fact is that he puts enough effort into other aread to win stages that arent necessarily meant for sprinters - like the milan - san remo or stage 19 of the tour de france. but he can become the greatest ever sprinter and win the most green jerseys. hes one of the best prospects in cycling

[iamslein]

Perfect timing :)

[BakerVidz]

Haussler had that mess. He didn't think he was going to be in that position. He was trying to pull Thor Hushovd to set up his sprint. If Haussler would have waited 5 sec before he jumped instead of pulling Thor, he would have had it. GO CERVELO!

[lennard]

theres only one sprinter who can keep up with cavendish and his name is usain bolt!!

[seanyvaar]

xD :D

[everst]

looks like the cervelo guy wouldve won if he didnt veer to the right at the end, what a mistake

[tigerarmyrule]

Mark Cavendish will never finsih top 10 in a Grand Tour let alone win one.

He is a superb sprinter, an absolutely explosive and exciting talentand may well win 3 or4 Maillots Verts but as for GC it is frankly nonsense.

[perryr365]

best vid of the milan san remo this year stuck to the important part. that overhead shot is just amazing.

oh and Cav is a sprinter and will always be a sprinter. asking him to try and win a big tour is like asking Usain Bolt to win the 5000 metres. it ain't gonna happen.

[simenrogne]

haha great comm!!! couldn't have said it better myself if I tried 'till next year;)

[wartimeHERO08]

does anyone know where i can download this footage

[Spaceisneat]

would you mind telling me who the music is by? I really like it ^^... thanks!

[lizzrose]

The ride by Milow

[MercedesBMW84]

roadbikerob saying cavendish will win a big tour HAAHHAHAHAHAH ROFL AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! Learn about cyclism ty. Rofl omg a sprinter winning Tour de France, ye of course HAHAH.

[raevans12345]

Look at wiggins, he can now climb with the best of them.

If cavendish works on his climbing alot and loses some weight, tried harder in the TT's, has a good TTT, a good team and wins a few stages with time bonus', course he could do it.

[simenrogne]

wiggins have always had the potensial of a good climber, but in credit agricole he wasn't allowed to ride for his own chances.

Cavendish can not win a 3-week tour. Just as possible as I'm winning the olympics in synchronized swimming alone (!). Cav weights only 69 kg, so i don't think he could loose som weight, and he don't have the ability to keep up the pace over 4-50km. He is an explosive sprinter!

[roadbikerob]

great vid mate-Cavendich is crazy!

[roadbikerob]

cavendish will one day win a big tour. At the moment Contador and Lephimer are too strong but if his climbing improves he will be the best ever British cyclist.

[cronos2]

a sprinter will never win a big tour sorry mate.

[roadbikerob]

This is sort of true. However cavendish can win time trials as well as the sprint stages. I can except your point but Cavendish can only improve on his climbing, he can't get any worse!

[simenrogne]

cav can't win any time-trials. He do not have the same stamina and pace over time as cancellara, contador, rogers++, but he can possibly win a prolouge (ca. 6-7km). And last, cavendish is a terrible climber and will always be.

[Misterb0z]

Ha ha ha! People said the same thing of Armstrong when he was 24. Cavendish a terrible climber? He did just fine over the Poggio in this race, and just fine over the last climb of stage 19 in the tour. Give him some credit. Yes, at the moment he has the best team out of any sprinter, but riders develop over time. Just look at Stuart O'Grady or Thor Hoshovd. I think Cav will win some more big classics in his time.

[simenrogne]

thats right, but armstrong had a much shorter way to go. He was already a good classics-rider and a deasent climber, so he definetly had the potensial. same thing about thor and o'grady. powerfull and heavy sprinters like them are often good at cobblestones and short hills, and with a little training they can get some good results, but the way from a VERY explosive sprinter to a great climber is much longer, and it also depends on how your muscles are build up: explosive or endurance (t I, IIx)

[Misterb0z]

Well, yes.  I'm not saying that he's ever likely to win the Flèche Wallonne, but anyone suggesting he's not a decent climber seriously needs to look at his results. Boonen for one was left eating humble pie at Milan-San Remo, and I think Freire will be in a despondent mood following this tour.

[wikichris]

You need to eat your own words simenrogne. Cav won the Tour de Romandie prologue time trial last year. Obviously, as he says himself, he's simply an old school sprinter but get your facts straight or no one will listen to anything you say.

[simenrogne]

big difference between time-trial and prologue. The prologue in 2008 tour de romandie was only 1.9km. Almost every sprinters are good prologue riders, because time-trial technique doesn't have as much to say as raw power. Actually, look at the results on that prologue in romandie, daniele bennati from liquigas was second (not exactly a time-trial specialist or what?) on the time-trial on stage 3 he was behind by far. Last, i did say that he could win a prologue.. I see no need in eating my words

[itsdonnie]

Haussler was not even supposed to be there he lead out Thor Hushovd... I think it was awesome to see Haussler going for it. On that same token Mark is the man.

[Rustofari]

Excellent film, great music and a fantastic rider! It's all good.

[joshsayre]

i h8 mark cavendish so much just for this race....test team had it but fucking mark had to be an ass hole. he even cryed what a pussy

[Sbcertje1]

He's just better than Haussler! How can you win otherwise if you are 50 metres behind your opponent and come back in this way?

[Kissenbubu]

Mates, what the name of the song?

[lizzrose]

"The ride" by Milow

[JackRabbitSlim]

@Kissenbubu So what's the name of the song and artist again? ;)

[kennethdong]

Great video...the emotion of the moment is captured in the words of this song. Well done! Love watching Cavendish make his mad dash to the line. Also u can see how unexpected it was for him to pull this one off in his first attempt.

[swaynee1485]

well done mate am proud to know you and be manx

[coachpbelite]

give it up to hincapie. domestics are the reason I love this sport

[jpev94]

cavendish is the new cipollini... i think xD

[switzeee6]

yeah i think he is.... hes the best tihng thats happend to the manx

[Belokki]

in talent maybe, but he will never have Cipos charisma

[Punishment247]

The swerve didnt hurt him, it helped him becuase it made cavendish have to swerve as well just to get in Haussler's slip stream. Staying straight would have actually allowed Cavendish to catch up easier because he would have had a constant slipstream to draft off of.

[JLimbert7]

i wish houssler didnot swerve he would have won it

got the german roo!!!

[railroadtycoonz]

cannonball

[livesforcycling45454]

Cavendish is a super sprinter, I'm sure he will win group sprints until the day of his retirement

[sunshineholt10289]

worlds fastest man!!

[lennard]

Best sprinter in the world.

[DARKPSYTRANCER]

este puto me la ubiera pelado en el tour de missouri si no me haya dolido la pansa

[jpev94]

k dices tu aora? xD

[TheMattia22]

the best

[brucewayne909]

why is it necessary to ruin a video with a dreadful song such as this? sounds like something that should be played at a funeral LOL

[Hel748]

Just great!!!!

[olympic12]

I cannot think of a weaker song for such a great finish

[TeutoGrimpeur]

Cav is a Faker bcoz he sucked Heinrich's Back-Wheel almost for one Minute :)

[calitocalito]

Then heinrich should not have jumped so early! It's obvious a cyclist would get behind you if he could!

[welshlogic]

Petacchi or Boonen or Cippolini or Abdoujaporov would all have done the same.That's the art you complete donut.

[krblackburnuk]

What are you talking about - there are 298Km to this race, everyone follows wheels during the race, the best is the first over the line - that's not wheel-sucking , that' sprinting!

[krblackburnuk]

Great video, by the way. thanks!

[rowleycat]

great video!!!

cant believe that the UK has a world class cyclist after all these years of waiting!!!! well done Mark!!!

[edshimmin]

The Isle of Man is not part of the UK - sorry to tell you. I am from there. It is part of Britain, though.

[50033836]

Uhm... the UK is Britain...

[calitocalito]

Very emotional! great job, nice clip

[singlespeeds]

Lord Cavendish! Speed of the PPPPUUUMMAAAA!!!!

[tjcoac0809]

Greattt videooo!!!! nice top footage there

btw, cav is great, and so is his team.

[TVcarls]

Thanks for this video, excellent tune and great shots of

CAV's big win, what a huge gap he overcame to win by a hair!

Nice Job!

tc, WI

[whitlst2]

Fantastic! like ta see a few of the below try and outsprint Cav!! Think this could be agood year for this lad... roll on the GIRO!!!

[jet9491]

Fantastic! Forget the media awards, Cav has got to be the outstanding British sportsman of the last couple of years.

[martyfarnsworth]

Thank you so much for doing this: it's the best one!

[Trulyloyale]

Cavendish lucky ?????

Hahahaha typical stupid,ridiculous german sore looser : in Italy we know very well who are the krauts, so no wonder for one of them spelling out such a bizarre & pathetic bs ....!!

Germans ....

[TeutoGrimpeur]

poor boy

[SireBogart]

Mark Cavendish crying?

Guess it goes to show how meaningful this win is to him. It also says a lot about the amount of work he put in before and throughout the race.

You don't cry tears in the name of luck. They're for when grand expectations come to fruition.

[jayaybe]

Nicely done Lise, I had tears in my eyes watching this. A brilliant win for Cav.

[lesmcluffalot]

Kewlios

[Beevee64]

Another day that I'm proud to be Manx. In a sprint, nobody can touch the Manxman, nobody. Great video and bet there will be more like this in years to come. Go Cav!

[DouglasVector]

Nice video.  Thanks for posting.

[devlotarend]

great!! just great!!!

[TeutoGrimpeur]

Heinrich H. was the strongest man yesterday. Cav just lucky.

[dunsedog]

hahaha

[Beevee64]

the strongest perhaps, but not the best.

[clarkyLDS]

How can you call THAT SPRINT Luck ?

AWSOME Maybe ?

[brid256]

He wasn't lucky at all. Cav is part of a great team who helped him to victory - no luck involved there

[jayaybe]

Lucky? Nonsense! Where were all the other sprinters then? Timing is so important in the final 250 metres, he showed great skill in reading and reacting at the perfect moment. All the other sprinters sat and watched.

[davidstavros]

Yeah, Cavendish sure is lucky to just be flat-out faster than anybody else on the planet.

[ItalianStallone89]

Italian here. But looks like Cavandish is gonna win the next bunch sprints for the next 6-7 years...

[calitocalito]

Nahh!

[walwynsgoat]

Great video, great race, great music.

[Quadraspazzed]

A beautiful video , Lizzrose !

It encapsulates everything about today's victory for Cav.  10 out of 10 !
