Tour of Oman stage 6

Can I say I am a fan of Cav?  Can I say that he is one of the best sprinters right now, if not all time?  I can say whatever I want, and I say Cav is one tough $@b.  He has donated more flesh to the tarmac this season than most cyclists do in a lifetime.  Did you see the TDU crash where he had to get stitches above his eye?  Or the one in Qatar in the prologue?  Love him, hate him, love to hate him, or you can respect him for what he does on the bike.  Forget what he says when he has a camera on him, and remember what it is to speak with your legs.  I will say that, he always thanks his team, and that is where I judge a rider.  This is after all a team sport won by an individual.  -wrap your head around that you stick and ball types

10 Theo Bos (Ned) Rabobank Cycling Team

Rabobank had a great week in Oman, getting four stage wins from Theo Bos and Robert Gesink.  Theo proves that you really can come home, he looks comfortable with his old team, and Gesink is on track for a good tour.  If you ever listen to cycling legends, then you should know that Eddy Merckx said that Gesink is the 'next' tour winner.  If anyone knows I would have to say Eddy knows.  "Bo don't know cycling." -(Nike circa '89) We'll see, that is too far off to talk about.  Now, the Classics that is what I am talking about.  The guys are all getting tuned up for the Classics and it is going to be all out war.  Bring it.
