Way To Go Cav!
Mark Cavendish made history by becoming the first Briton to win three stages of the same Tour de France, when he won a sprint finish in Narbonne. Team Colombia managed to get him at the front near the end of the stage but then it looked as if he had blown his chance - fortunately he found his way through the crowd of cyclists ahead of him and won.
Considering he's already been last in one stage of this years race, first in three others and he suffered the embarassment of colliding with a football in one of the mountain stages it's been quite a Tour so far. The British Olympic team are waiting for him in Manchester but Cav has said during his interviews with Ned Boulting on ITV4 during their coverage of the race that he will stay until he's had enough.
Well done to Gary Imlach who predicted that Cav would win todays stage during last nights rest day programme.

That is good news...here's hoping he's clean! I was considering posting re the (now 2) Spanish dope test failures...caused quite a stir here and of course tarnishes their feel-good factor after footy and Rafa.
I liked Cav's comment after the race "people say I'm cocky and I am - it's because I know I'm the best."
Re the two Spanish guys - if you say your hero is Marco Pantani and you go up a 10% gradient as if it is flat what are the chances that something isn't right?
