Cavendish is the best sprinter by a country mile, hopefully next year he will try and win a few of the intermediate sprints and win the green joursey overall. I think it is slightly unfair to make out his accomplishments are not as impressive than those of Wiggin's. Cycling is a team sport and all sprinters get help. Whilst I am a fan of the mountain stages I still love the flat races and sprint finishes, just as I enjoy the time trial and team time trial. Horses for courses.

Merckx was the other continental pro at Simpson's funeral.
Sean Kelly did race with clipless pedals - he just didn't swop over as early as most others.
He was for the radio ban too - good on him.
