My personal choice would have been Mo Farah, but Cavendish is a more than worthy winner.

must have been some neerdy internet campaign that won it for the man no ones ever heard of,
absolute joke, nearly as bad as last year
You're taking the p!ss right?


am telling you now, theres no way in a million years that the every day sports fan in the street has said 'tell ya what i'm going to vote for that bloke that rides a bike fast'  they havent heard of him, never mind find a personality,
 internet campaign/fix would be my guess

So because you haven't heard of the fastest sprinter in road cycling, the man who has won 20 stages in the greatest cycling race in the World and one of the hardest sports events to even finish never mind win things in (most cyclists would kill for ONE stage win never mind 20), the first Brit to win the green jersey (I won't explain it, it's not worth it with people who can't be arsed to broaden their horizons) for fucking ages and the first Brit to win the Rainbow Jersey as World road-race champion since 1967.

No campaigns, no fix, Cavendish is just fucking brilliant, an utterly worthy winner and also one of the most humble (whilst also remaining as cocky as those who just know they are the best) sportsmen around, his first words tonight were to congratulate the GB team that won him thet World Championship.

Rant over, jog on.

Well said Dave - saves me the trouble of typing all of that.  The man is indeed just fucking brilliant.

On a side note, my missus...who doesn't follow sport that much, was in tears at the dead sportsman bit.  The music and all that just had her in pieces.

Anyone know if it was that Scala & Kolacny crowd that have been doing the rounds lately?

Edit: Aye it was.  Just watched the end of it again on the iPlayer.
