Cavendish to ride Tour of California. No Hollywood in Giro.
Cav in Cali. It's where he belongs. The man is brash and fast and dashing and charismatic and photogenic. The Giro is cool and history is great but Hollywood in not located in Milan. Team honcho Bob Stapleton made the obvious official when he announced his star sprinter will skip the Giro in favor of the Tour of California which runs from May 16th to the 23rd.
HTC-Columbia’s Eisel wins the race he dislikes: Gent Wevelgem.
"I never liked this race," said HTC-Columbia's Bernard Eisel. He might like it now. Eisel blew past a fading George Hincapie (BMC) in the last 200 meters to win the 2o10 Gent Wevelgem. Sep Vanmarcke of the little-guy Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator team earned himself a massive bonus in taking second. Philippe Gilbert (Omega Pharma-Lotto) snuck in for third best but was seen kicking himself and his teammate Jurgen Roelandts (Omega Pharma-Lotto) for their questionable tactics. They had the advantage in the winning six riders group.
Greipel gripes. Cavendish keeps mouth shut.
The Good German Soldier routine is over. Left off the roster for Milan San Remo in favor of an under-performing Cavendish, the German was clearly ticked. “That was a real blow for me. My riding hasn't been so bad that I didn't deserve to start.”
Freire beats Boonen in Milan San Remo. Cavendish bites it on Cipressa.
Oscar the Cat wins Milan San Remo for the third time. Race pundits thought Mark Cavendish was bluffing about his form. Turns out it was Freire who had everyone fooled. Supposedly recovering from a cold and still feeling a bit under the weather, Oscar made a remarkably fast recovery. Must be those super power cough drops.
Bbox Boy delivers in Paris-Nice, stage two. B-b-bravo.
Bonnet is getting the French double cheek kiss routine from everyone in Bbox land. He didn't just win a stage, he probably saved the squad from folding or a fate worse than death -- doing amateur races in the US with Rock Racing.
Cavendish, bloody molars and the Italian dentist mafia.
Selecting an orthodontic specialist with a Italian last name who just happens to be a distant relative to doped rider Riccardo Ricco is just not good dental work. After Cavendish called Ricco a "parasite" Italian passions were inflamed and reprisals were inevitable. Unfortunately they took place in the Manxman's open mouth.

Just why exactly did George Hincapie leave Columbia [...]
