El Gigante called my attention to this shot on Velonews... sort of your garden variety finish line shot, but if you look really careful amidst the mass of humanity, testosterone, blood, sweat, and tears you'll see some serious power being laid down...
Now I'm not of the higher level math type (help me out here Paul) but if you check out Cavendish's bike you'll notice some serious deflection. The front wheel is angled at, oh, about 70 or 75 degrees, the rear at, say, 80 to 85 degrees. If I'm doing the math correctly and there is no parallax or some other slight of hand going on then that is around 10 degrees of deflection in Cavendish's frame...
That, boyz, is laying down some serious power... no wonder Robbie Rocket sat up and called it a day without even sprinting!
