The last three years Cav was riding with a team that specialised in getting him into the right position to win the sprints-JennyB (July 24, 2012, 03:34 AM)

For those who don't know, "Cav" is Mark Cavendish:

Looks like a shop to me. I can tell by some of the pixels and also from seeing plenty of shops in my day.  ;)

Curt:
-Photoshop, yes, (among many other programs), but not in the sense that it should be a fake.

Despite the hype, the British win is not all that spectacular.
For example, and to put it into perspective: Germany takes all-classes win of the 1940 Tour de France - and I don't think this earlier Tour de France shot was Photoshopped, either.

I want to respond to this Iain, but I'm not quite sure how to...
It's political. It's inappropriate. It's offensive imo - and no, I'm not a denier of anything. I'd be happy to fill you in on my views and/or debate with you - but it would be very off-topic for this thread.
(I dont know if dc would be the place for it at all - probably not even in the soapbox, in the light of it being "downgraded" to the basement - but if you want to start a thread there I will respond, or PM me).

PS this has nothing to do with whether it's funny or not ;-)
