Arise Sir Cav

truly well deserved and would love him to win no 36 but have to say I'm worried about him putting himself on the line again @ 39 (it aint natural for sprinters to go on this long).

Slightly OT, but respect for Alan Bates who's also been awarded a gong.

I desperately want him to get #36.

Overdue and much deserved.

Assume the title comes with a suit of armour. It'll be a bit heavy in the mountains but probably quite useful when fighting for position.

Well deserved but at least 10 years too late.

Last night I watched his Bordeaux (gear change) sprint again on the suitably named TDF Unchained .

Jeez,it was still a hard watch.

I hope by some miracle Sir Cav can snatch another one this year.

Brilliant.

I also hope we get Sir Chris Boardman soon (maybe the invitation has been offered and declined).

Boardman has been given a CBE so getting closer.

I also hope we get Sir Chris Boardman soon

Wikipedia says he got his OBE in 1993 - that's 31 years ago! I am so chuffing old....

probably quite useful when fighting for position.

Probably essential when racing Jesper Disaster. Watching the new Netflix doc, the guy is a high speed danger zone.
