Oh yes.
Looking for a win this year in Ghent-Wevelgem and riding for the experience and to help out teammates in Paris Roubaix.

Maybe not yet, especially if he has to do the short steep climbs? He does seem to rely on his teammates more than the more experienced sprinters. If the team goes awol then so does he whereas Boonen for instance has the power(?) to stay with it and even breakaway with a small group.
Fair comment or not?

Good interview with him in the last Cycle Sport were he talks about his plans for this year really wants to do well in Ghent make a showing in Milan - San Remo. Cav is being tipped as a possible winner of Paris -Roubaix in the later part of his career.

Think you may find he left to prepare for the Olympics and was very upset to do so.
Winner of what The Tour? Not even in his plans. The Green Jersey? Well of course he has to finish to win a category, maybe this year if not within the next 2 years.

Well given what you 'know' about his Tour performance last year, I reckon what you know is not very much really.
Cav is still developing as a rider. He'll win points jerseys and day races in the future. He is showing signs of becoming a more effective time triallist too.

Cavendish has a lot of detractors among cycling fans in this country. As he is quite likely to become the most successful British cyclist in history this might appear to be rather strange, until you realise that we have turned into a nation of celebrety worshippers and anyone who doesn't play the Hello! magazine grinning idiot himbo role is beyond the understanding of many people.

Is he going to ride Milano-Sanremo this year? I thought he was. That is definitely one within his reach. The distance might get to him having not raced it before, but he will surely be in with a shout there if not this year then in the not-too-distant future. The same applies to Paris-Tours.
