Chasing Rainbows

Mark Cavendish, top of the world

Great Britain woke up today with a new men's senior world road race champion for the first time since 1965 and for only the second time in history.  This victory has been 3 years in the making for Cav and team GB and man did team GB deliver for Cav, a victory not just for Mark but for the whole team.  I'm proud as punch for British Cycling!

I'm sure Cav will wear the rainbow jersey with pride next year and do it justice, here's to an even better 2012 for the Manx Missile.  But first of course there is the tour of Lombardy, maybe a bit too much for a pure sprinter, but still a good opportunity to show the world his new jersey and a fitting goodbye to team HTC Highroad.
