Plus how many stage wins with Cavendish, and the Green Jersey he
(Cavendish) got screwed out of?

Nobody cares until he wins Paris-Roubaix.
And then there will be something wrong with that, too. <g>

One of the causes of Spaghetti legs is hormonal imbalance, this can be caused by:-
a. Being slammed into the road at 40 mph
b. Certain...erm...preparatory substances
c. Repeated doses of a and b
d. Living on a fucking bicycle for three weeks while you view the French
countryside at high speed while eating chemical stuff nominally called food out
of plastic packets.

Jesus Christballs,

You can turn even a thread about Hincapie into a
thread about poor wittle wronged Cavendish.

That makes you a bigger Cavendish fanboi
than Mark Cavendish, and that's saying something.

A sprint on the Champs without the big sprinters would be
incomplete, but Cavendish is also just lucky he's still in the race.

So, you're predicting #20 on the Champs tomorrow? Me too!

Um, "lucky" he's still in the race? How's that?
BTW, the "screwed" part is true, and it's just a sidebar. Hincapie
gets picked on a lot because he's never won P-R; I was pointing out
that he's had at least two careers (working for GC and working for
stage wins and Green), which I do from time to time because I'm
something of a Hincapie fanboi, too.

You're in here posting about racing and you're not a fanboi yourself?
Who were you rooting for, again?

Fixed your post for you, no need to thank me it's a free service.

The formatting needs some work but I'm sure you get the gist.

Nice try, but those aren't causes of varicose veins. 0 points for
trying to turn this into a doping thread (see item b. above)

Hey I'm new here, I thought that was compulsory for at least every other post.

Good point.

On stages 18 and 19 the race jury elected to not eliminate the
laughing group for being Hors Delai. Instead, they all got 20-point
penalties.

Cav was in the penalized group both days. If you remove all the
virtual-HD riders from the competition, Cadel is your virtual Green
Jersey, and he has a hundred-point lead over the virtual runner-up.

Called 80 fat friends on his HTC phone to join him in the bus which made
it large enough to force jury leniency.

CFE, the unlikely cannibal.

Zabel drove the bus on dozens of mountain stages in the Tour and never
missed the time cut. Just as a comparison.
