Critics Review

The greatest sprinter of all time – Bradley Wiggins
The hottest sprinter in the world * Telegraph *
[Cav is] special, the way he rides in the last metres. I don’t know exactly what it is, what makes him different, he’s just so fast – Eddy Merckx
The greatest sprinter of all time – Bradley Wiggins
Britain’s best ever Tour de France cyclist * Procycling Magazine *
The hottest sprinter in the world * Telegraph *
