Scenic Highway Robbery

Just found out that Tom Boonen has abandoned the TDF due to "intestinal issues", but the question that's not being asked is: what does that mean for Allan Davies?
To ask it more sarcastically, SO glad that Tommy was successful in his appeal against his inability to start in the TDF due to "nosebag issues" the day before the TDF started, only for Aussie Allan Davies to be told he had to go home the day before the TDF, only for Tommy to ride at the back of the peloton for 14 stages, only for Tommy to bail due to his "lack of ability to win anything issues".
Lame.
Lame issues.
And while we're on English-speaking people being robbed (let's have some decorum and not mention all the people English-speaking people rob), Mark Cavendish was totally robbed at the end of Stage 14. From what I've seen, The God of Thunder is also The God of Lame Whingeing, and has cost the Manx Missile a well-deserved jersey.
Though, to be fair, apart from 2006, the handing out of the jersey is often unfair...

  1. I meant to reply to this ages ago, but then i forgot! I'm terrible like that.

    You're right about Cav, though I am slightly biased as my Mum is a manx woman. His performance last night was outstanding :)
