[@teamilknosugar1]

His decision making in the last couple of K was spot on. Popping back out at the front every time it looked like he'd been boxed in. His team did a great job from 30k out, making sure that he was there or thereabouts towards the end, but the train went to pieces before the final km. Cav's ability to pick the right wheel, see the gaps, know when to open up, see when the rider in front is about to blow etc etc. Phenomenal.

[@tychoMX]

To be fair, Cavendish used to be the "bad guy" in bunch sprints too. I'd say he's mellowed a bit with time. There used to always be lots of argy-bargy with him and some of the other sprinters and leadouts. Reason is that MC is relatively unconventional (like McEwen before) - they don't need/have the leadout trains that Cipollini did and instead surf and bump their way around other sprinters' teams. An example is the stage 1 crash in the TdF that started in Britain (2014?). He tried to follow a gap that didn't exist and crashed Gerrans out. To his credit, he did apologize afterwards - this was already some personality advancement!
