Cav hanging up his wheels

[cyberknight]

End of this season, turned 38 last week so he has had a fantastic career anyone would be envious of and taking the decision to bow out while he is still at a good level rather than struggling in smaller and smaller teams at lesser races .
DS or commentator next ?

Good for him ! Takes courage to get out while you’re near the top - but realise you’ve peaked and there’s only one direction ahead for you. Too many hang on; and achieve nothing but a tainting of their aura…..

Lots and lots to do outside of cycling. And I’m sure he’ll manage to earn a crust…😎

i doubt he needs to work another day if he desired .

Can he get one last tour stage to get a fairytale ending . Don't think he can beat the very top sprinters in a straight sprint but from a reduced group he could do it

i wonder how much the cannibal is offering other sprinters to make sure he keeps his record ?

We are all very sad in our family but I think it’s a really wise decision!

My husband asked if Cav would win one last stage. I said my head said no…but my faulty, dodgily-valved heart thinks so!

Well I've bought one of his books recently, yet to read it. He's also such a nice guy too. Sure he'll have a good career after bike riding.

TBH he's done well to keep Sagan off his records, another phenomenal rider.

I suppose he is of that age and is just ready to go, but I have always enjoyed watching him.

I don't think I really got him in the early days as he came across as arrogant, but I soon came to realise he was just super focused and quite aggressive at times, and I love that.

I would love him to get just one more - preferably at the Tour just to sort that out

put it won;t happen

Very pleased to see him up with the best at the Giro this year - hasn;t won (so far!!) but he has shown he still has the speed - just that yard or so less speed or endurance than the best on their day
but that is still one of the best on the World

which is a good time to retire

I always felt sagan lost the last few years of his prime over covid and i dont think he was as driven as Cav to win as he talked about retirement years ago !

It wouldn't really be in the spirit of things for him to do that though, would it!
