I hope & I pray that when he finishes his career on the last stage in Paris, he goes out on a high and wins. Quote

HarrySpeakup Posted July 9, 2024 Author Posted July 9, 2024 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 1 Quote
owl71 Posted July 19, 2024 Posted July 19, 2024 Think Pogacar may just have the yellow jersey wrapped up. The bloke in 4th is 15 minutes behind. Quote

Pogacar had it won 3 weeks ago, the bloke is an absolute machine, the others simply aren't in the same league as him. You only have to look at yesterday's stage, he toyed with Evanpoal & Vindeggard. I'll be stunned if he does the Vuelta but if he does, I can't see anybody beating him, other than himself as he'll burn out. Quote

HarrySpeakup Posted December 18, 2024 Author Posted December 18, 2024 Fantastic to see Sir Cav get a Lifetime Achievement award last night at the BBC SPofY awards Surely no-one has ever been a more deserving recipient Such an incredibly lovely decent sincere humble inspirational bloke to boot too Quote
