Interesting site that. At first glance I thought it was a spoof... like the Daily Onion or something. I'll have to explore more.

Sounds (if true) like a bit of friendly winding-up going on. Good stuff, I like it so long as it doesn't go out of shape.

Greipel is a different kind of sprinter to Cavendish, and there are certain finishes which will better suit him. (Stating the obvious that really). Greipel is a powerhouse; he'd do better in an uphill finish or the long drag I reckon. Cavendish's speed is explosive but he can't sustain it as long. I'm looking forward to Cavendish's year this year. I reckon the move to Sky could be the making of him as a more clever rider and not 'just a sprinter' (as many diss him for). We've seen him wheel hop to find a finish, I reckon we'll see more of it this year.

Serious in the same way as NYVeloCity is 'serious' is my guess. That is, taking an underlying truth and just stretching it a wee bit... perhaps until the ridiculous is reached! :laugh:
