Taaramäe aboy crash today:
I heard just how Cavendish was blaming Farrar about crash, but she curses every day for anyone. Yesterday he fell and then shouted to Cherel. Stuff to know, the stars have never been convicted of anything
Cavendish always blame everybody else.. 
man has over 20 tour stage wins..ofcorse he can say what he likes
Of course, but he have done that since the start. Anyhow it is like I said. We are used to it after all these years.
Got a feeling he will hit back hard tomorrow.
Words to live by

Is that Taaramae hinting that he blames Cavendish then?
nope.. he is always screaming and blaming others first and using hard core words
A little confused, so just to check - by he, do you mean Taaramae or Cavendish?

Sivtsov has won a giro mountain stage..He has also finished top 15 in the Tour and Top 10 in the giro,and he has achieved these results while working for his team leader..And the only time Pate achieved a GT stage podium,he was beaten on the last climb by world class climber Simon Gerrans if my memory serves me right He is CLEARLY a better climber than Danny Pate, that is not a discussion its a fact. |

This one wasn't a Mountain?
He won the stage, and GC at the Tour of Georgia, Sivstov that is. Ahead of Colom, Leipheimer, Lowe, VandeVelde, Sevilla....

Just drop it guys, talk about the Tour. I shouldn't have even brought it up.

It actually included a TdU winner and and a twice KoM winner. Both of whom beat him.
But yeah, let's drop it. |

Back down to Earth, Tom Veelers is doing a fantastic job taking up Kittel's role in the final kms (who is still to enter the Top 188 of a Tour road stage )
Lotto is doing great in setting the final sprint for Greipel, if they keep it like this on the next flat stages I believe Greipel will take at least one more win home. He's very strong this year, it looks like only Cav can top him atm.

Anyone need more evidence what prick Cavendish is? So please dont compare him with certain rider who know what humbleness is 
But i feel sorry for him, no one should end his stage hopes like that.
Btw. Anyone saw how amazingly Sagan avoided that crash? He was right behind Cavendish, than when he felt Sagan slided to the side with one foot off the bike, than used the other riders shoulder to get into the upright position and sprinted to catch the front group immediately, what a bike handling (cant find a picture of that).
Nice 5th place later for Peter, good points as he was not able to overcome the others from the back. Gorilla was just unbeatable, i am happy for him and great Veelers too.

Btw. Taaramäe comments every day is more and more positive.
Seems like he still riding himself into form. I was quite pessimistic before tour.
But first mountains and specialy first long TT will show. |
