So Cav has officially gone to MTN-Qhubeka

Pro-continental team? Cant help wondering if this is genius or idiocy. No guaranteed big races, but everyone will invite them because they want Cavendish.

MTN have made a good impression this season in the World Tour races, so I'm sure Team Dimension Data will get the invites to the Grand Tours with Cavendish (and Eisel and Renshaw) on board. A chance to have a team fully focused around Cav again too.http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/sep/29/mark-cavendish-finalises-move-mtn-qhubeka-etixx-quickstep

That said a line up of Mark Renshaw, Edvald Boasson-Hagen, Tyler Farrar, Cummings, Brammier and Eisel sounds like a stable of nags nowadays.

Great breakaway ride by Niballi to win the last monument of the year.
That boy knows how to get down a hill. JuniorD said:
Used to have a lot of respect for Nibbles, and suppose I still do for his descending, but the Vuelta cheating was a step too far.
A bit harsh, he's a hugely skilled rider and I respect him for that. The Vuelta thing I agree was just plain silly - his team are part responsible for that too.His credentials are superb with all three grand tours wins.

dunno if anyone is even interested, but lance armstrong was on the 'joe rogan experience' podcasts (on itunes), dunno what they talk about, but I doubt rogan will avoid the obvious questions. I'm off to have a listen just now.
I listened to it this morning on my drive into work, it's not going to change anyone's mind but you do get more of a sense of the man, Joe Rogan's podcasts usually run over 3 hours, this one was about 2 and you do get the sense that Lance came to say what he wanted to and get out.Gassing Station | Sports | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
