Wei Koh: Is integrity important to Mark?
Mark Cavendish: I have lived by one rule since I was a young man. You can't take any crap but you don't give it away. I have always tried to be from this place, and I am always open to meeting people from this same place. My partners are all long-standing friends. When I was 17, I signed up with Nike - it was free of charge at first. When I turned 18, I became the World Champion and was offered more lucrative deals by rival brands. AndIsaid: "Look, I bought Nike and that's the thing I'm going for." It must be true." The same goes for friends. I have always tried to avoid being surrounded by idiots. It doesn't matter what my friends do, they are all real people. They could be my school friends,Replica Watches or they could be someone I met cycling or Richard. I enjoy messaging people to just say "How are you?" without any ulterior motive, other than the fact that I care about my friends' well-being.

ulysse nardin replica: What has changed?
Mark Cavendish: What changed me the most was that I grew to be a man,ulysse nardin replica met a wonderful woman, married, and had children. That gave me a fresh perspective on life.
