Dumbass -

Cavendish got dropped on a shallow Cat 4 climb the day before.

Him pulling out is the correct action. He's cooked.

thanks,

I agree, but when has common sense been a factor for the folks running
cycling? Cipo was great fro the bottom line and TV buys, but they
banned his ass anyway.




Dumbass -


They banned him because he made a show out of dropping out, telling
the press even before the prologue when he was going to climb off.

That's showing a lack of respect for the race.

BTW, Cavendish made it over the Pyrenees and even won two transitional
stages. Not even comparable.


thanks,
