Didn’t he do that when he came to us?

It won’t be this year - because of the Olympics it’s finishing in Nice - the first time ever it’s not finishing in Paris The last stage this year is a time trial so Cav won’t be winning that

Fantastic

When he was sent off at Orient there was a story that he couldn’t get into the dressing room so he kicked the door down After that we used to sing “Kenny kicked the door down”
