the official site also does "Key Moments" videos as well - takes some time but they are pretty good.

Should we get a spoiler warning added to the title of the thread?

I appreciate that some people want to get home and watch the highlights.

sorry about the spoiling but this is a "Tour de france 2008" thread so i guess it does kind of imply chat about the tour. maybe we should start another thread with spoiling alowed, is a little annoying finding out the result when you don't want to (cue really bad episode of the likely lads).

Cavendish had an unusually high opinion of himself before today (one that seemed at odds with reality.) What's he going to be like now?

He's been a world track champion aged 20. He won 11 races in his debut pro season on the road and has now won 8 so far this season, including stages in both the Giro and the Tour.

He's probably justified for thinking he's quite good.

What is with this country that as soon as someone is successful that we have to snipe away at them?

i saw him the tour of britain a few years ago as a stagiare for T-Mobile.

scarily quick. and about 19 years old. won the points jersey.



after last year's scheldepris it was like, fuck, this guy's going to be huge. then the two giro wins. he has the capacity to become big outside of the sport, sort of like boardman after the barcelona olympics. and what he says tends to be the same 'right now i'm the quickest in the peloton' - which he pretty much is.

i'm glad he's won a stage early, hopefully he can relax a bit and now win more this year, next year, and so on, knowing that he's got one in the bag.
