Well Done, Cavendish. Good on Ya'.

Just a short post to update those who aren't following the the Tour de France. After having secured another stage of the race, Cavendish is no longer in the competition. Yet, he has achieved more than any other British cyclist. So, "Good on Ya', Mark."

I remember when I was a kid, the cool bike to have was an "English racer." Today, that term doesn't seem to mean much -- maybe a reference to Nigel Mansell or something.

Of course, the 23-year old cyclist has performed so well, the usual suggestions about drugging have been made. I guess no one can be a great athlete anymore and not have that finger pointed at them. And if everyone thinks that he has been drugging, maybe he should have done. But at this moment, it seems as though he's clean ... even though his kit leaves a little to be desired (see left).

Anyway, to celebrate Cavendish's heroics, I shall embed below, a favourite Style Council video. The plot features, inexplicably, a bike race. That Weller was a bit daft during this period, but fab music nonetheless.

And for all those looking for more sport on this blog, result! Football season is just one month away. Go Arsenal. Go Tottenham. Go Man U! For those looking for less sport: unlucky!
