Mark Cavendish says he has not been offered a new contract by his team HTC-Columbia beyond next season and has expressed dismay at his treatment.

You may have been overlooked, you may have been dropped you may even have been treated badly. However one thing you have not been, and that is abused.

Why would they not offer their best cyclist a new contract? Could just be stalling due to pay because Cavendish is on a reported 1million plus a year and that was signed before he started winning every single sprint stage!

why do you say Cavendish is their best rider?...Is it because you  see Cavendish win stage wins at the Tour de france and think that make him Number 1 in the team?

Cavendish is just a sprinter,....He can not win overall tour event...plus it look like Mark need a big team to help him get the stage wins (you see the big Team Columbia train at the tour de france bring Mark to the line) so this mean there less riders in Team Columbia who can win Tour events or help other rider win tour events

The whole team is built around him to get him stage wins so he is obv their key/best cyclist. He's not going for overal winner but only Contador and Schleck realistically are so unless they are gonna pat a fortune gettign them then gtd stage wins with Cavendish seem better.

he not ranked number 1 by UCI ranking for Team Columbia so far in 2010  (2nd in Team Columbia)  and also 2nd in 2009 for Team Columbia

Cavendish is ranked 22 overall in 2010 rankings

I like to see just how good Cavendish, if he was in a team with less support...could Cavendish find he way to the finsih line with out a big train pulling him there...I guess we find out soon
