Garmin Still Sucks

Yes, Cavendouche is a whiner. There ain't no saints in
Italy in the ultimo kilometre. If Cav doesn't want to
deal with a little shake 'n' bake he is welcome to
lead things out.

But what struck me was how Garmin-Cervélo was poised
to drill it for Farrar. Except for the part about being
overpowered and stuffed by Lampre. You never saw that
happen to Cipo's lead out train.

That's not a good sigh for Farrar.

His lead out man faded somewhere in the 1200-800 m to go area -

And from this quote from Farrar-
"I saw Petacchi sprint a dead straight line, so I guess he was ****ed
that Petacchi won," he said matter-of-factly.

- there's going to be some continued bad blood between him and Cav.

Dead straight line???!!! Hey, it was a good sprint, it wasn't one that
I'd DQ Petacchi for, but it wasn't a good example of a "clean" sprint
and most certainly wasn't a "dead straight line." I can only assume that
Farrar was quoted immediately after the sprint and hadn't seen the
replays. Is Farrar assuming that an emotional Cav is going to make
mistakes?

I just watched it.

Petacchi came off Cavendish's wheel FFS.
Cavendish had a fair amount of room on the left. Petacchi
moved left but he was a bike length ahead of Cavendish
at that point and he didn't put him into the barriers.

I think this is just a training-bitch by Cavendish to make
sure he's in full bitching form by July.
