Cav wins the Green Jersey!
Yes, yesterday Cav won the prestigious Green Jersey on the Champs-Elysees to become the first Brit ever to clinch the coveted title! He's now won 20 stages of the Tour de France, yes, 20 stages!
To quote David Millar, Cav is the "greatest sprinter in cycling history". But will the general public care, probably not. I don't think many people outside of cycling really appreciate what an phenomenon he is. He is a freak! He is the Usain Bolt of cycling, he is really that good! He's not just the best around at the moment, as David Millar says, he's probably the best sprinter the cycling world has ever seen. And he's only 26! He's got another 5 or 6 years left at the top, it's frightening.
Well done Cav, you're going to be a cycling legend!

He could quite possibly become the man who wins the most stages in Le Tour.
He has been fantastic over the last 3 weeks and he seems to have matured when interviewed.
I'm a big Cav fan.
All true, but the big question is, will he be at Team Sky next year???
