With due respect to Cav most of his rivals are near retirement,and he just starting out, he's very lucky in that way!! as for joining Sky,they want aG.C condender.so they say,not a green jersey,can't do both!!!!

Don't complain about Wikipedia being wrong because you can go and edit it if you know better.

Congratulations Mark!!! You are the best sprinter!

Well done, Mark! You have really put Manx cycling on the map. I hope to see you in green on the Champs Elysees next year.

WEll done to Mark Cavendish, as Champion in Tour de France 2010.

So fast , he must break all the records soon and he's got about 15 years left if he stays fit!

Cav you could have so easily won the green jersey if you had not have sat up during some of the earlier stages. A couple of cheely intermediate sprints as well.

There is no question that Mark Cavendish is possibly THE greatest sprinter in living memory. Witness the final satge of this years Tour and try to recall anyone who has ever opened up such a gap in such a distance to the line. Mark deserves everyones congratulations. Of course there will always be the knockers and ill informed but they clearly will know little of how the world of the sprinter operates.

As for Team Sky - how on earth could they attract Cavendish? For my money the team name is appropriate because they're up in the clouds and no on the ground dealing with reality. Look at Quick Step and the amount of effort they made every day to have 1 or 2 men in a move and as for Sylvan C - all I can say is it's a pity the Sky boys didn't follow his example!

With respect Hadyn Bosher ,Cav can only beat who is in the race, what do you want him to do, retire untill Boasen Hagen is a bit older?
I agree with the SKY criticism. They were the invisible team and very dissapointing. It was fairly obvious, even from his poor prologue performance, that Brad was not in his 09 shape. It would have been nice to see a SKY jersey in the break and going for a solo win.
