You gotta love Mark Cavendish. He is a professional, funny, down to earth cyclist and so cute in his unique style when crossing the finish line. On the picture above he was actually honoring Columbia's phones, but nobody was expecting him to do that, not his teammates not his bosses at Columbia. He said "it was just something he thought of doing 1 km before the finish"
I personally think that he's a fantastic sprinter who gets his way to the triumph whenever a good finish sprint waits for him at the finish of a stage or any cycling race.
Keep up with your good humor, Cavendish. You always make my day and bring a smile to my face.
BTW, the stage today was kind of boring in general. No radio phones were allowed for communication between the cyclists and their team cars. Reason: the Tour de France organizers and the UCI wanted to bring back a little bit of the past ol' times when radios were not being used in professional cycling yet, expecting to make today's stage "more exciting with un-expected winners and full of surprises".....well, well, well....ha-ha-ha...I guess it did not work at all. In fact, it was boring, except for Cavendish at the end, the rest of the stage was not exciting at all.

He is an exciting rider and that is a fun video. Today's stage was a little routine but I still enjoy watching every minute. I wish they had more cycling events on TV.
LOL, the video is hilarious!
TKS!
Cavendish is a great sprinter. Good to know he has a sense of humor as well.
Cav is one of the greatest young cyclists we have right now!
GO CAV!!!
Today was a really sad day for cycling. The attitude of the teams that decided to practically neutralize the whole stage in order to show their opposition to the radio ban just makes me sick.
A stage without earpieces was an experiment, and these managers didn't want to give it a try.
Hopefully, they will change their attitude on Friday.
Cavendish is by far the best sprinter in the world, IMHO.
I think I made a boo-boo, LOL
LOL, like I said, Mark Cavendish is funny. Good win Cav!
He's THE MAN, Dr. PLouise!
Yes, RM. I love Cav on a flat stage because you know that the finish line belongs to him!
LOL, I didn't know the funny-down to earth side of Cavendish. He certainly looks like a very nice person. Good for him.
