The boy done good. I guess he's spending more time on the IoM these days seeing as it's RHD?

Turns out it's not for him...

Didn't he say in his autobiography that he was never one for flash cars. I think he used Pozzato as an example of the type of playboy he despised.

I thought he was into cars and watches. Wasn't he one of the first to get an R8?

I think he referenced being told by Lance once not to "waste your money" he then went on to say something about most Italian riders had an F car on the drive regardless of whether they really could afford to. However, with all due respect to the rest of the peloton, few of them earn anything like what Cav does/has/will given his sponsorship stuff etc etc so I guess he probably can afford a lot more than they can.

Interesting. I have no idea how much the top cyclists earn. Is it in the millions or hundreds of thousands? I watched the sky documentary on Wiggo and his house is up north and not anything to rival the stuff n MTV's cribs, but still very nice smile

As with most things in sports its about endorsements more than basic salary I'd imagine. Cavendish is on board with Nike, Oakley, Proctor and Gamble etc etc. Think his basic salary from Sky is over a million and when you add all that stuff into the mix...

As for Wiggins, he will have made a lot of money this year, they estimated he could make many millions off the back of what he did this year.

What you have to remember about comparing it to MTV cribs is he's just a fairly normal bloke done good, not some ahole from Compton that needs to show off his wealth at every opportunity smile

I'm sure I read recently that Bradley Wiggins is set to trouser around £5m from 2012

Fernando Torres will get about three times that. Puts things into perspective: the greatest season for a British road cyclist ever, vs a total flop for an overrated show pony.

Nice work.
I was right there on Friday too, lurking in the background. The little dance Cav did as he got the keys was priceless, and the noise as he gave it some beans was awesome.

I won't post it here but the number plate is damned appropriate too!

Enjoy Cav!
