Maybe bicycle road racing isn't a sport??

And yes, it is totally possible I don't understand enough of the nuances to know what really is going on...

I think I'll just watch to see what happens..

Just like professional wrestling.....
I think you mistake cynicism for skepticism. All the OTHER teams, and their sponsors who pay huge sums of money hoping to get the image of their rider crossing the line first wearing the company logo emblazoned across their chest are going to get together and throw the races, telling their own highly competitive riders who have just a few chances every year to let Cavendish win? Think just how many people would have to be in on it, to pull this off, and NOBODY going to the press to tattle?

Please.
