"They openly complain about every single thing and they openly admit
it," Cavendish said. "I've spoken to guys in that team and say 'why do
you do it?' and they said 'we've got to find a way to beat you'.
That's not fair, and that's not sporting."

Cavendish’s claimed that one specific team manager "tries to f**k with
me at every possible opportunity, which is ironic considering he was a
sprinter and I actually looked up to him. But now I have no respect
for him."

The situation has got so bad, Cavendish claimed that it's affecting
the way he sprints. Though he insisted he will not play similar mind
games with his rivals.

This is in cyclingnews,

I can't figure out which manager or team he's referring to.

Certainly no love lost between Cavendish & Haussler. And DS Jean-Paul
van Poppel was a famous sprinter at who Cavendish might have looked up.

Hushovd a whiny bitch? I don't know. But then again, he can't do
anything wrong with me ever since I gargled his semen, I mean, since he
waved hello to me on the road in Monaco. Top feller.

Tyler and Cav seem to be too quick to praise one another and too
respectful for it to be Garmin doing this. Besides, which of their
directors was ever a sprinter?

Cervelo the more likely culprit.

D'uh, isn't Zabel also the guy who mentored Cav, and in some large
part responsible for his M-S-R win? I don't believe for a minute that
Zabel would stoop to such trickery against Cav.

Hushovd complained and got Cavendish relegated
in the 2009 Tour ... somehow Cav does not strike me
as the forgive and forget type.

Don't know what Cavendish's policy is on waving to Freds.

Cav is right about all this. Remember when Haussler, Boonen, and Ciolek
ganged up on him in stage 4 of the Tour de Suisse?

From the story-
http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2006/tour06/?id=results/tour062
On his reaction at the finish line, Hushovd said: "When you sprint you enjoy
all the adrenaline... when the incident happened, I got scared and
afterwards that turned into anger. That was my first reaction; when I saw
the video, I understood it wasn't his [McEwen's] fault.

"Sprints are sometimes really dangerous, like yesterday. Nobody made
mistakes. Robbie, just like other sprinters sometimes, makes some dangerous
manoeuvres, but he didn't make mistakes [today]. I can't blame him today; I
can blame myself a bit."
Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole)

Asked if there was any bad blood between the two, McEwen replied: "I've
already spoken with Thor since the finish. Thor and I watched to the video
together. Thor came with his front wheel against my left foot. We're still
friends, no worries."

Yeah, I may have got it wrong. Zabel is coaching Cav.
