@markcavendish re-evaluation

I've just had my first ever look at Mark Cavendish's twitter to check out the sneering which I was confident would be there following piss-gate.
Nothing of the sort. He actually comes across really well in writing, like, REALLY well. Sounds like a proper decent guy.
Which makes it all the more perplexing that he sounds so abrasive, defensive, awkward, disinterested, surly, arsey when he's talking. 
So I'm happy to re-evaluate my prejudices and put him back on the Christmas card list.

Whatever the truth, I suggest he should try and let some of that personality which is evident on twitter, out when he speaks to the world via the telly.

Cav causes crash chaos

I've never been Mark 'erm, well, y'know' Cavendish's greatest fan so I don't really need an excuse to have a pop at him. When he presents an open goal however, I find it irresistible. 
And so, enter stage right, the flying vortex of negativity that is Mark Cavendish and the final 100m of yesterday's stage of le tour.

"Just seen the sprint. I believe I didn't move line.

"I'm actually coming past Veelers and we touch elbows when he moves. Anyway, hope he's OK." Said 'Cav' on his twitter

Have a look at the pictures and make your own mind up. Tom Veelers has made his feelings known.

Cav - not moving

Yes, I know: 'what do I know' and all that. Yes, but his post race interview just made me bristle. I doubt you'd have him as a mate - if you knew him I mean.
