He certainly used the car to get back, looking at a rear camera. Nice to have media access . Shouldn't have been there to begin with. |

Special video for people with media credentials. I write for a website in addition to this one, allowing me the credentials to most races.  |

What is this bullshit about Cavendish being the most aggressive rider
who attacked once, got pulled back, attacked again, stayed away until the final k's and attacked on the finishing cuircuits Not fucking Mark "drafts team car" Cavendish
Edit: WTF Versus awarded the jersey to Cav, the officials gave it to Sutherland. What did Sutherland do?:x

Thats annoying that Cav got releggated :cry: as i see it he crashed due to Rock Racing cock up touching wheels. So he has got to be given some way of getting back. |

No matter who's fault it is that Cavendish fell, drafting is still not allowed |

I guess every time he crashes he gets into trouble. remember last year at the Tour when he got to punches with a spectator mid-stage?

Was he drafting where was that, i read that he was being 'towed along' actually it was when a mechanic was adjusting his Rear Mech.
Also i refer back to, uhm Levis statment where Cav got most aggresive. Maybe that was a consolation prize after the Judges got it wrong?
Anyway i will now drop this in fear i will look like an Idiot. |

You right...This is also part of (t-mobile, Highroad) decision-tactics. We all remember how Predictor-Lotto send in TdF several riders back to help McEwen after he's fall...and we get one of greatest stage win in TdF history. |

Smoothie: The decision to disqualify Cavendish was based on the fact that he drafted after his crash to get back to the peloton. |

I went back to camera 3, and he clearly was being helped after his mechanical fix. Also, it wasn't Rock Racing's fault in the crash, that was also caught by camera 3. Cavendish rode into Pena's back wheel pulling it from underneath him. |
