Shut up Cavencrash no one cares what you say has been.
Cavencrash is the Arjen Robben of professional cycling.
Exhibit A : chopping a competitors wheel at the olympics: https://youtu.be/869ytxoJsF8?si=DxlCKa114TliuY9F
Exhibit B : fake crash at the Tour of Britain because things weren't going his way : https://youtu.be/ihqgN6oTzoU?si=UJegfLkkoHnBh96i
Exhibit C : his Robben dramatics at the Tour to get Sagan (a professional sprinter removed) : https://youtu.be/mgwZsxukSL8?si=u0545cTa4mPjz9mK
Petulant attitude with mechanics, spectators and reporters : https://youtube.com/shorts/NmqZwHuT9cU?si=SbTrp1B6QP6g69vV

He should have retired long ago instead of relying on stacked competition and the pity of real cyclists to gift him wins for a hollow victory. Deep down he'll always know they are as good a result as Armstrong's TDF wins.
