  • What everyone neglects to acknowledge is the fact that Cavendish is merely beating the guys Petacchi and Cipollini absolutely destroyed. Who was Cav racing for green this year? Hushovd? Come on, I like Hushovd a lot, but he was nowhere near as fast as Petacchi in his prime. Now, Hushovd is old, and can still beat Cav. No one wants to admit that there has been a decrease in the number of quality sprinters. Everyone is focusing on being an all arounder. Petacchi: best sprinter to grace the sport.

  • Petacchi is a hero!

  • @ptrbyd yeah he was fast, but sorry I dislike people who dope or once doped. he was banned in 2007 for doping. Mark Cavendish is THE best sprinter to grace the sport.

  • CAN CAVENDISH COME AROUND HIM IN THE FINAL 25 METERS ????????? NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • Esto es 2010 y se quedo con la verde del Tour petachi, un grande, es viejo y no tiene el tren q tenia en el fassa y sigue poniendo la cabeza y tratando vencer al fuerte y bien equipodo d mark, este año en el tour veremos q pasa.

  • Guess we saw a replay of this today xD Renshaw leading for Cav inside the last km, Petacchi goes early and holds ftw. But here he did not need to ride through the road and quite block Cav =P

  • @ptrbyd Well, people always look back nostalgically at the past, but at the end of the day, the sprints are run off at a higher speed nowadays, which negates the effect of a sprinter with a fast kick (like Cav) and most of the sprinters in the big races are not doped up to their eyeballs anymore :D

  • ALE JEEET

  • im used to alessandro on lampre

  • I love watching Cavendish sprint, but that comment was classic. LOL!

  • cav is still young
