World Champion Water-Bottle Fetcher

leave a comment »

Leg-Breaking Climbs, Crashing for Shoe Covers, and World Champion Water-Bottle Fetcher:

But one of the things that marked me the most today was Mark Cavendish. At one point on the first climb I think, I saw him fading back. At first I was like, “Oh, is he getting dropped?”

Then a few minutes later I saw him coming back up with his world championship jersey just stuffed with water bottles and I was like, “How cool is that?” It is not every day that the world champion is working for the common cause. But it also scares me because if the world champion is a domestique, just how good is the team?

By the looks of Sky’s performance today, very, very, very good.

[David: "Don’t let your company culture become one where certain people are too good to do the jobs that need doing. Making shit work is everyone’s job." Clearly the case on this team. Allez!]

I’d like to propose a new theorem: On a long enough timescale, Dave Winer is usually proven right.
