Filth at the velodrome

[Boxers]

Just watching the chat at the velodrome and there's one guy called Mark Cavendish on there, well I have never seen such dirty jeans! He looks as if he has just come in from work on a building site or something.

there's one guy called Mark Cavendish on there,

Never heard of him......

That'll be Mark Cavendish the winner of 4 stages of the TdeF and GB cyclist you are talking about - seeing how he won't have seen his home in about 5 weeks I am surprised he has any clean clothes at all.......

one guy... THE Mark Cavendish, I would think he's allowed dirty jeans after what he's been doing tbh!

I would imagine there are laundry facilites at the olympic village

I should imagine there are - the point is he obviously doens't consider it important in relation to the events he has been competing in over the past few weeks........

Maybe it's go faster stripes. Just very close together

 

[Rowreach]

My sons advise me that jeans with the ingrained dirt look are the height of fashion ............

 

[Mithras]

I think the jeans are meant to look like that. I thought they were quite nice. Can't stand the preppy look.

I opened this thread expecting something farmore interesting than the state of a blokes jeans!

 

[nosenseofdirection]

Winner of 4 stages? He's up to 23 now, isn't he? Or did you mean this year?

'only THE greatest cycling sprinter of all time'.......can't say i was looking at his jeans

 

[numptynoelle]

I'm with Mithras, I rather liked his jeans! Loved the combo of him, Jake and Geraint during the cycling

So Victoria Pendleton wasn't caught reading Fifty Shades of Grey in between races!!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Soooo disappointed in this thread

CC shush! I don't think we are in soapbox any more.....

 

[tasel]

But these things are "in"!!! I have some ridiculously expensive jeans somewhere (we're talking hundreds of £), and it has finely created rugged holes and white-ish paint over it.

You might find this ridiculous - but although they look like that, I'm bl**dy careful when wearing them because of how much they cost.

OH won't let me put Mark Cavendish down. EVER. He worships some of these athletes like gods.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Apologies, I'm off back to Pervy Corner

 

[ChiffChaff]

Haha!

 

[HashRouge]

He's THE Mark Cavendish....he can wear what he likes!!!
He's also reigning world champion, as well as the best sprinter in the world...
I think Cav is great and I'm really glad that he's managed to get over his personal disappointment and join the commentary team. And I like his jeans

 

[Boxers]

Well it seems I must apologise to you all. I hadn't a clue who Mark Cavendish was, I don't following cycling (?) at all.

And I'm afraid I still don't like those 'dirty look' jeans, whoever he is.

How on earth from television can you say what his jeans are like, and did you object that Ben Ainslie had not shaved before he went on camera the other night, I could go on....but for goodness sake, celebrate not moan.
