on 5 live at the moment

any claims that Sky was a done deal were wrong then.

What did he say then?

Wants to be with a team that offers the best chance of winning. Surely that’s HTC with their new sponsor.

he only made his mind up saturday.

So what did he actually say? That he’s signed with HTC again?

he still hasn’t said who he’s signed for, he did say there was something extra added to the deal that made his mind up, saturday in Eindhoven.

Was on bbc breakfast and the today program. Very modest. Bigged up the team. Top bloke.

Thought he was gona release it at the end there. But the way he said near the end “how do you know i will be joining another team” seems to suggest he is staying where he is – IMO the best place if Renshaw stays too.

That’s what I thought.

He looked like a lost little boy on that sofa! He’s a very endearing character and a brilliant rider. I hope he does the business in the Worlds and the Olympics as it will have a huge impact on the popularity of the sport…

Not to mention the number of barely-used Specialized McClaren Venge framesets going cheap on the classifieds… 😉

I thought he came across really well on the Today program:

“So after the Tour de France you were racing again on the Tuesday? Rebecca Adlington said she was taking two weeks off?”

“Yes, because I’m a professional sportsman, it’s my job to race and it’s what the sponsors pay for”

about what time was the interview on the today program? so as I can get it on iplayer

NO surprise that everything about Sky so far may have been a rumour, Cav tweeted a while back that a lot of the news they were publishing was information from LAST year not this one! Oh can you get any of the interviews of today on i-player? at work so couldnt’ listen. Boo but I’m a Cav lover!

The guy doing the interview on the Beeb breakfast show is utterly pants, though, isn’t he?
Don’t call him “Cav” on air, unless you actually know him well enough!

He was a bit overly chummy! Not the easiest person to interview I would imagine though!

Think it was 8:25 on the Today program according to his twitter feed.

EDIT : Didn’t the new sports guy used to do Newsround ? I think he should go back to kids programms. Mind you, it was painful listening to all the sports commentators mangling the names of the riders during the TDF.

the 5 live interview

Think he will stay with HTC.

Just listening to Cav on 5live, he comes across as really articulate but then I have always been a Cav lover! Worth a listen to those who have missed it, it is on the Victoria Derbyshire podcast about 6 mins in.

+1

thats the best I have heard him. Would be awesome if he won the worlds this year !!

Seems to have lost some of the awkwardness.

Yep, this is a fantastic interview. Love it.

Only just got round to listening to the radio interview. Brilliant.

His passion for cycling was palpable, and he came across as a really humble, brilliant sportsman.

His take on doping was also superb. Along the lines of “Of course you see more evidence of doping in cycling, cycling’s actually doing something to cut it out of the sport”. *Applauds*

Also, love the video footage of them on the Champs with Renshaw “barging in” to a colleague…! 😉
