Cav's rivals dropping like flies....

.... in the TdF.

Peatacchi has no team, Boonen probably banned and now Robbie M

Robbie is now in the hospital. His knee joint is okay, but he cut ligaments under his left knee and the doctor's rebuilding it. It’s almost impossible for him to participate in the Tour de France and he fears for the rest of his career."

AFP has reported that McEwen suffered a fracture of his tibia in addition to the tendon and ligament damage

Is Bennati in?

 

[yello]

The end of the little Aussie runt's career? I hope not, he's a character and I'd miss him!

 

[Keith Oates]

He always brings something special to races when there's a sprint to finish, It would be a shame if he has to stop now through injury!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Steve Austin]

what about oscar freire? not an outright sprinter, but he's got enough to win the green

Yes, Steve, I think winning the green is slightly different. Consistency, intermediate sprints and finishing the race. There are more contenders, perhaps, for that than stopping Cav winning a few stages.

If you're talking green then Thor must get some consideration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
