He is good but its not all him, he has great support around him to launch him to the front when required, its still good to see British riders at the front of cycling.

have to say i agree on the comment of itsa team sport, but on the same note its still one hell of an individual achievement.

other thing is will it ever emerge that hes racing on drugs or doped up?

(disclaimer, i am not saying he is or ever that its been sugested. but look at lance armstrong)

If he was not a superb sprinter what would be the point of supporting him and launching him to the front?
He is currently the best sprinter.

Hes more than a straight sprinter tho isnt he ?

Cipo still holds the title in that department for me , a few all out sprint victories in the tour then retire to the beach while the rest slog it out

I thought it was great. Hopefully he can wear the jersey when he wins on the Mall next year!

He is an incredible talent, it's got to the point that you now expect him to win a flatter stages.
