The Chief Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 love the 'proper' mountain stages, on the bucket list to cycle up them myself one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Ship Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Well that's another nail-biting mountain top finish. More than a bit of deja-vu there ... Plus an exciting ascent of the Tourmalet AND an even more exciting descent of the Tourmalet... (Now just have to wait for Cavendish to roll in.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramseyboi Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Absolute legend whatever happens on Sunday. Never in a million years a couple of years back did I ever think he would win another stage of anything. Never mind the tour, and I would have bet the wife’s life on him never getting a green jersey. Phenomenal that he did it years ago given the limited training opportunities over here as a kid but to then bounce back from where he was with injury, physical health and mental health to do it again and become a record breaker is awe inspiring. He deserves the full recognition the island and the cycling world and hopefully the queen and the BBC when it comes to sports personality. Unfortunately based on the few meetings we had we will never be mates and he will think I am a proper tool. Hands up I thought he was as well, but am happy to applaud him for his amazing achievements. Good work Cav. Am inspiration to many and a man the island can be proud of.

manxman1980 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I owe Cavendish an apology... I watched the Tour live yesterday in anticipation of him breaking the record. This is the second time I have watched Cavendish on this stage and its the second time he has missed out on the win.. Great effort from him though. I hope he gets a ride at next years Tour if he wants one and gets a shot at that record again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You jinxed it. Massive shame he didn't get a ride. But Cavendish will be riding in the Grand Fondo event on Sunday on the Isle. Great opportunity for local (and tourist) cyclists; there aren't a whole lot of sports where your heroes can be your peers and you can also enter events with them. Cue moaning about Lycra Lout events stopping people getting to the shops to buy Beer and Cake for a couple of hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And being prevented from going about their normal lawful business. Just to indulge these people who actually think people support this lunacy. Just rent a piece of spare land and indulge your hobby on there instead of inconveniencing the vast majority of the population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
