Penalty kills.
Double plays.
Mountain stages.
I don't go in for flash. Sure, I'll appreciate the results of the breakaway goal and the out-of-the park home run, but it's not what I came to see.
So in cycling, I've had a sort of distrust of sprinters...hang in the pelaton all day, then elbow your way up for a 100-meter dash. Maybe it was just the dominance of Mario Cipollini when I started watching the Tour that gave me that attitude; I hated Cipollini's style of winning a bunch of sprint stages early, showing up in an ugly custom kit, then departing for the beach as soon as the race hit the Alps.
(Zabel, you ask? I like him now because he's old. And he stuck it out through the mountains.)
So, given this, why have I watched Mark Cavendish's fourth stage win twice already today, on my feet both times?
Man oh man.
(Now, there's a reasonably good chance that Cavendish is going to bail soon, as the race hits the Alps. He's still got the Olympics coming up. As long as he doesn't show up in an outlandish jersey tomorrow, I won't hold it against him this year.)
