One of the most exciting young talents in world cycling, Mark Cavendish forced his way into T-Mobile's Tour de France line-up with a run of results that made him impossible to ignore.
The 22-year-old sprinter will be withdrawn before the mountains but has every chance of adding to his remarkable haul of six wins in his first pro season.
Belgian great Johan Museeuw has already identified the Manx-born Cavendish as a rider who could lift the sport's profile in this country.
Victory in the predicted bunch sprint in Canterbury on Sunday would be a great first step.

ernando Alonso Formula Star Player
Sebastian Vettel may be the man most likely to thwart Lewis Hamilton's hopes of a second world championship this season, but as the McLaren driver arrived in the tropical metropolis of Kuala Lumpur it was not the German on his mind but the man he describes as his "nemesis", Fernando Alonso.
"I will always think that my nemesis and my closest rival will always be Fernando," said an unusually reflective Hamilton. "Just because of my history, when I started out. I see him as my Prost, if we were [Alain] Prost and [Aryton] Senna. If you were to say 'choose a driver' [that I would like to be] I would clearly choose Ayrton. And maybe I would put him as Prost."
The rivalry between Senna and Prost, which is brilliantly captured in the new film, Senna, was one of the most bitter in all sport. The difficult relationship between Hamilton and Alonso in 2007, when the Spaniard was unsettled and ultimately driven from McLaren by Hamilton's rookie brilliance, had its moments, too. Hamilton, probably, has never received proper credit for his performances that season, when he missed the championship by a single point.
But is not Vettel his true nemesis now? "I don't think so. If he continues to have a car like he does now then, maybe, but I think when we get equal pace then we will see some serious racing. Maybe he [Vettel] is the new Mansell? Not that I would rate him like I do Mansell." Ouch.
But with the next race, in Malaysia, almost two weeks away Hamilton is less concerned with racing rivals than his relationship with his family. He is close, once more, with his father and former manager Anthony. And this week he will return to England to see his brother Nicolas, who has cerebral palsy, race for the first time.
"I can't miss my brother's first race [at Brands Hatch next weekend]. It's OK. I can sleep on the flight. I can still stay in this time zone. I'll just head back to see his qualifying and race and then pop back out. It's cool. I'll get to watch lots of movies on the plane.
"Me and my brother are close. I mean, everyone has their situations in life, but it has been tough for him. I can understand what he has been through because I am the closest person to him, but even I cannot comprehend what it must have been like to have the difficulties he has had. And now he gets to have the opportunity to live the dream himself. Me and my dad will be there."
The relationship between Hamilton and his father has been strained for the past year, since Hamilton decided that he no longer wanted Anthony to manage his affairs. But they have been closer in recent months and were seen together at the Australian Grand Prix. Anthony now manages the latest British FI hope, Paul di Resta.
"This weekend has been great. I don't know whether you saw me and my dad spent a lot of time together. I asked him if he would like to be on the grid with me and he said 'I would love to do that'. It just felt fantastic this weekend.
"I felt the support that my dad gave me – it was the same as he has always given me but without the stress. I said to him 'I know you have to go down the other end of the grid' and he said 'No. Paul understands that I want to be up this end as well.'
"My dad was just there as my dad. He has always given me immense support, but I think it was support mixed with some stress. But this time it was just 'I'm so proud to see you out there' and it was just fantastic. Really, really great. Things are pretty good. Great times and they can only get better."
Then, suddenly, it was back to racing. "Finally I've got something I can fight with, something I can take the fight to the Bulls with," he said, following McLaren's revival in Melbourne and his second place.
"Malaysia is a massive downforce track so you're going to see Red Bull as quick if not quicker. But I have no doubts our car can be competitive as well."
Meanwhile, the McLaren team principal, Martin Whitmarsh, said: "We leave here [Melbourne] knowing we had a car capable of taking two places on the podium. It was genuine pace. Both drivers and the team had a difficult winter and it is fantastic to come out of it that strong. We have to dig deep, it's a long championship and we have to improve race

Henrik Larsson images
Henrik Edward Larsson MBE (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈhɛnrɪk ˈlɑːʂɔn ; born 20 September 1971 in Helsingborg, Sweden) is a Swedish football player-manager. Larsson began his career with Högaborgs BK as a youth player. As a senior, he moved to Helsingborg, where he was one of the key players when they qualified to Allsvenskan 1993. Larsson then moved to Feyenoord for four years before leaving for Celtic in 1997. He won four league titles in seven years with Celtic, scoring 242 goals in 315 competitive matches, before moving to Barcelona in 2004, where he won two league titles and the 2006 Champions League, in which he assisted both of Barcelona's goals as they won 2–1 against Arsenal. Following the expiration of his contract at Barcelona, Larsson returned to his hometown club of Helsingborg, and joined Manchester United on a brief loan spell between January and March 2007. He announced his retirement from football on 20 October 2009.
Larsson played for Sweden in three World Cups and three European Championships and is a former captain of the national team. Larsson ended his international career with 37 goals in 106 matches.
Larsson has hinted he will make a move into professional floorball in Sweden, having already turned out for Helsingborg in the Swedish floorball league, but this is unlikely due to his recent appointment as Landskrona manager.
Gonzalo Higuain wallpapers
Gonzalo Higuain initially rejected calls from both the Argentine and French national teams, specifically a friendly against Greece on 15 November 2006, claiming at the time he was undecided for which country he would prefer to play.
Gonzalo Higuain's international career was looking set to mirror that of David Trezeguet, whose father was Argentinian, but went on to play successfully for France. When Les Bleus called up Gonzalo Higuain against Greece, they assigned him the number 20 shirt, the number originally worn by Trezeguet. However, at the beginning of 2007, Gonzalo Higuain expressed his desire to play for Argentina and decided to declare his natural-born status at the nearest Argentine embassy while being abroad.
In February 2008, Gonzalo Higuain was called up by Argentina Olympic for a friendly match against Guatemala. He scored two goals in his debut as Argentina won 5–0. And in May 2008, Gonzalo Higuain played 61 minutes against Catalonia in the other friendly match. Both matches were not officially recognized by FIFA as "A" international matches, and will not count towards his caps and goals in international play.
Gonzalo Higuain finally got the call for Argentina by coach Diego Maradona for the last two qualifying matches for the 2010 FIFA World Cup against Peru and Uruguay. Many in the Argentine media had criticized Diego Maradona for not selecting Gonzalo Higuain in the past. He scored his first goal on his debut, a 47th minute strike during a 2–1 win over Peru.
On 3 March 2010, Gonzalo Higuain scored the only goal in a 1–0 victory against Germany in Münich
Real Madrid successfully signed Gonzalo Higuain for €13 million, after River Plate had earlier turned down a €10 million offer for the 19-year-old striker.
The striker announced at the signing of his six-and-a-half-year contract "It's great to have the chance of playing for such an important club as Real Madrid. I feel proud that Real Madrid has noticed me."
2006–07 season
Gonzalo Higuain's first game for Real Madrid was on 14 January against Real Zaragoza at home. Gonzalo Higuain shone by creating several chances and delivering the assist which resulted in Real Madrid's 1–0 crucial win against Zaragoza.
Gonzalo Higuain's first ever goal for Real Madrid came during the 62nd minute in Real Madrid's draw with local rivals Atlético Madrid on 24 February 2007. His first home goal for Real came in the dying minutes of Real's crucial encounter with RCD Espanyol on 12 May 2007. With the match tied at 3–3, Gonzalo Higuain won the ball with a sliding tackle before exchanging a one-two with José Antonio Reyes and slotting the ball into the net. It was this goal which enabled Real Madrid to overtake rivals FC Barcelona into first place and propelled them to their 30th league title.
2007–08 season
On 4 May 2008, with Real Madrid down 1–0 against CA Osasuna, and needing just three points from their final four games to secure the league title, Gonzalo Higuain came on for Javier Saviola in the 67th minute and from a free kick, he assisted Arjen Robben's equalizer in the 88th minute. Gonzalo Higuain then struck the winning goal two minutes later to clinch Real Madrid's 31st La Liga championship.
Despite being Real Madrid's title hero, Gonzalo Higuain found himself on the bench for Barcelona's visit to the Santiago Bernabéu four days later. As he had in previous games, however, Gonzalo Higuain came on to devastating effect, scoring with his first touch within a minute and helped his team to a crushing 4–1 victory.
2008–09 season
On 24 August 2008, Gonzalo Higuain became Real Madrid's cup hero, scoring in the 89th minute, giving Real Madrid a victory over Valencia CF and its eighth Supercopa de España. After the close of the summer transfer window, Real Madrid revealed that they had turned down a €25 million offer for Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus. He cemented a starting place in the team's starting eleven after impressing in the preseason, UEFA Champions League, and La Liga.
Gonzalo Higuain scored all four goals in a 4-3 win against Málaga CF on 8 November 2008. Gonzalo Higuain also provided two assists in the league match against RCD Mallorca on 11 January 2009. He became recognized for his devastating pace, dribbling, and low, powerful drives. Gonzalo Higuain finished the season as Real Madrid's top scorer with 22 league goals, and 24 in all competitions.
2009–10 season
On 15 September 2009, Gonzalo Higuain netted his first Champions League goal when he scored Madrid's third in their 5–2 win over FC Zürich, recieving a solid pass from Raúl, using superb dribling skill on a defender and slotting home a good effort, also providing an assist to Raúl in the same game.

Akiyama Yoshihiro pics
According to the Oxford Dictionary the word “sexy” is an adjective that describes sexual attraction in humans, and other species. There should be a picture of Yoshihiro Akiyama right beside the definition of sexy. The man we call “Sexyama” is a Rabbit-Punch.net favorite and one of our many idols. Him and his model wife are Japan and Korea’s answer to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Men want to be him; women want to be with him. Akiyama just reeks of sexiness; his sexiness is so potent that women reading this post are actually in danger of getting pregnant. In fact seeing the very image of Yoshihiro Akiyama could lead to a very “releasing” feeling of satisfaction and possible urge to smoke a cigarette. You all need to seriously take a shower after your done reading this. Even with two straight losses, our favorite MMA sexy symbol and UFC Superstar is still a fan favorite.
So what could be sexier than Sexyama? Is it Arianny Celeste on a hot day or Jessica Alba from that movie where she is scuba diving? It’s neither; it’s the world famous men’s magazine Maxim. It’s a great read while dropping a deuce, I know I read it while sitting on the throne. Combine the two sexy elements together and you have something so ultra-sexy and super that it should be illegal! Check out our homeboy Akiyama gracing the cover of Maxim in Korea. Big ups to the good people at Nightmare of Battle for the picture!

michelle wie top golf players
On March 1, 2002, Wie, who is six-feet tall, played in her first LPGA tour event. She failed to make the cut at the Takefuji Classic in Hawaii but still managed to turn some heads with her 280-yard drives and her understanding of the game. "I'm not disapppointed. I'm just happy to be here. There's free food and free drinks and nobody bothers you on the practice greens," said Michelle after shooting six strokes over par in the first two rounds. In June, 2003, Michelle Wie became the youngest winner in the history of the Women's Amateur Public Links, with a 1-up victory over Virada Nirapathpongporn at Ocean Hammock.
Michelle Wie became the youngest person, and just the fourth female, to play in a PGA tour event, when she teed off at the Sony Open on January 15, 2004. Wie missed the 36-hole cut by just one stroke, but finished with a higher score than 47 grown men! Michelle Wie didn't look at all out of place at the event, with her average drive being a whopping 271 yards. However, Wie was still a bit disappointed at not making the cut. "Just one more shot, and I would have made it," she said after finishing with birdies on two of the last three holes. "It's killing me now." Michelle Wie came close to making her first cut at a PGA event at the 2005 John Deere Classic - but had a late collapse in the second round to miss the cut by two strokes.
