Dear Mr. Cavendish.

Last time I looked, you were wearing the rainbow stripes. That means that things are different now. You try harder, every single time. You’re a sprinter, so you sprint. Even if your team didn’t put you in a position to win, you sprint your hardest anyway. Even if it’s for 21st place, you don’t sit up, you try and take 21st place. Thank you. You’re welcome.

by Scattista on Oct 9, 2011 6:11 PM EDT reply actions  

I can't wait until the year when PhilGil wears the stripes

I can’t think of anyone in the peloton who would more likely go on a “do those rainbow stripes proud” type of rampage for a year.
