Nickname for Cav?

[Melvil]

Mark Cavendish has done stormingly well this year but something's missing, I'm afraid...a good nickname!

Legends like Merckx ('the cannibal'), Bernard Hinault (erm, 'the badger') etc. all had nicknames.

Now I've been racking my brains but I can't think of anything good or rhyming for Cav, any thoughts?

One of the commentators was calling him "cannonball".

The Ego?

 

[dodgy]

'wellyouknow'

 

[domtyler]

Cav the Chav? Stick him in a Burberry cycling cap?

 

[4F]

The dominator ?

 

[Melvil]

Here, how about the 'CGV'?

(Cav a grande vitesse)!

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

He has been called the 'Manx Missile'

Equipe called him 'Lord Cavendish'.

I would like to call him 'The Chimp'

It's the ears and sidies that does it.

MC ?

 

[beanzontoast]

Sir Mark Cavendish? (Would make him holder of the record for the fastest awarded knighthood).

 

[User169]

Belgian TV commentators seem to have taken to calling him "the speedball".

I've heard a French commentator refer to him as 'power ball', whether he took it from the Belgians, or made it up, I don't know.

Personally, I think 'errrrm' would be quite apt!

Belgian TV commentators seem to have taken to calling him "the speedball".

Interesting drug-related connotations to that name!
