Theres also the argument that Cav has raced at a time of massive professional organisations. Merckx, Lemond, Hinalult and Indurain were all stand outs in their generation.
You need to learn how to overtake safely. It simply can't be the case that cyclists are going so slow that they hold you up for ages and simultaneously so fast that you can't manage to accelerate your car quick enough to pass them You also need to set off to go places earlier so you're not rushing so much that a couple of minutes behind some cycles stresses you out...or maybe get a bus
He did fail a drug test once. I watched a documentary about him. Don't think it was the Tour de France though. He denies it. But think they were all on summat.
Cyclists are just better people generally. Fact. Except Lance. And Hitler. But every other cyclist rocks.

No this is tougher ... Tour de France Crash | Johnny Hoogerland and the 2011 Barbed-Wire Car-Crash That Was One of the Worst ...this must be one of the worst Tour de France crashes of all time please log in to view this image Could this be the worst Tour de France crash the famous race has ever seen? It’s certainly one of the most barbaric in the long history of the event. Let us take you back to 2011, when Johnny Hoogerland and Juan Antonio Flecha were knocked off their bikes by a passing press car, and thrown straight into a barbed wire fence. please log in to view this image Cars and cyclists have never been the best of friends, but you’d expect as few incidents as possible between the two during the most famous cycling race in the world; and you’d expect the press to be as cautious as they possibly can around the riders. please log in to view this image Hoogerland and Flecha were powering along when they were taken out as the car overtaking the five-man runaway group swerved to the right to avoid a tree. The Dutch rider had won the mountain jersey in the sixth stage, and recaptured it in the ninth. The other three men in the breakaway were safe enough, but Hoogerland and Flecha were batted by the France 2 media car into the piercing barbed wire on the ninth stage of the Tour. please log in to view this image Hoogerland bounced back from the horrific incident, winning the 2013 Dutch Championships, riding with Italian team Androni Giocattoli in 2014 and signing with Dutch team Roompot for 2015. Off the bike though was another struggle – to recover from the Saint-Flour crash. Sources online say Johnny still suffers with back pain and insomnia. He’s some man for soldiering on, getting back on the bike and keeping his career going. please log in to view this image
Once you've had one crash the likelihood of having another increases. Will definitely be hoping the weather improves.
