This makes the whole Tour spectacular- no matter what happens at the end.

The tour needs more personalities like Cav. He is not a robot and rides on emotion. He doesn’t hide the way he feels and it makes you root for him! Congratulations Cav, you deserve this so much!

I started following cycling in 2012 when I was just a kid in junior high in China, not the target audience for the sport of cycling per se. I spoke little English, had no power in my legs, and had a crappy mountain bike that I rode to school everyday. Ball sports never interested me. Instead, I was hooked by images and videos of TDF. Specifically this man, Cavendish. I recall vividly the clip in 360p where he sprinted in T-Mobile jersey like a rocket on the Champs-Elysee. I dreamt of becoming a pro cyclist due to his influence. Despite being unable to actualize that dream 12 years later, I'm thankful for all he has done for me, and for millions of other fans who are inspired by him!

Legend of the sport! Brilliant achievement 🎉

This man is absolutely unique, the best sprint of all time

GOAT!!! It came a year late but you finally got your win. Congrats man

He showed us why he's the best today. He made it look easy. Congratulations to a legend.

i think everyone was rooting for him. i am so happy for him. i feel a weight lifted off the tour. its a great way to finish a wonderful biking career.

What a gent. Towards the end you can hear the journos fighting with each other, jostling for position or something...and Mark takes control and smooths things out..."guys, guys, guys..." He's engaged, and at the same time, above the fray. Respect.

Tears of joy!

Congratulations Cav!

OH my gosh! That was fantastic to see this wonderful man "finally" getting that win. It was a thrill to watch and my mom and I are jumping up and down during the sprint and crying when he went across in first. Salutations and many congratulations to you Mark Cavendish. You have made history.

His Dream has come true. He's Beaming! 😁🌟 So sweet to see your family on the Podium up there with you! ❤ Congratulations Cav🎉👏!

No one can ever say he doesn’t deserve this. The man went through hell and came out the other side. Inspirational. That’s exactly what sport is about. Amazing determination to win.

Abdoluteley brilliant. Top team work. Regards from ZA.

The best thing about the Tour de France is that every day a story is written and a life is changed forever. What a story today. We’ve been lucky to witness one of the greats.

This man bring tears to my eyes every time i hear him speak. He is just so lovable. Heart always on his sleeve.

congratulations cav we all knew it was coming! definitely deserved it

Way to go, Cav!!!!!!!!

What an amazing guy and amazing accomplishment! I didn't see the footage from the end yet but I can imagine nobody gave in just to give him the stage win and so very, very well deserved!

Cavendish you deserved it hero👍 fan from Eri 🇪🇷🇪🇷

total and utter awesomeness

THE GOAT 👑

Amazing story Astana qazaqstan cycling team your played a ACE Bravo Mark 🇬🇧

congratulations Sir!!!🎉 fan from Philippines!

To surf the wheels and win by a bike length shows his class.....just brilliant.... cycling immortality completed ❤

so happy for him. Been following his career for some years now and he definitely deserved it! What a day! What a Tour!

I confess. I didn't think he still had it. Amazing!

As a Manxman who used to hang out with this guy from naughty schoolboys, I could not be prouder. Mentality of steel for the Isle of Man!

When I watched his Netflix doc and at the end his kids said get it! I knew Mark would break the record! 🤙🏻

I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS! The fight for the yellow has been amazing so far (and it's the fifth stage...), Bini wining a stage and now wearing le maillot vert, Cavendish breaking the record (well deserved) after last tour's sad ending, Pogi, Remco and Jonas giving it all in the mountains, Bardet wining the first stage on a brutal breakaway, Carapaz wearing yellow and becoming the first rider in Latin America to wear the three gc leader jerseys.

Look at the love from the other racers and directors. That says it all. Vino is a brilliant guy. You can hate on him too, but it doesn't change reality.

An amazing day for cycling. Congrats Cav!

Mark’s the King…..Great job all the best! 👍👍💪💪

Congratulations, I have been following your career on the tdf since you started, Had no doubts you would break this record, Well done,

Unbelievable Cav, what a rider

SACRIFICE, SUFFER, ENDURE - REPEAT. Legend!

So happy for this guy. He deserves it. Perseverance pays off my dude!

What a total superstar!!!!

perfect. just perfect.

Shouted at my TV for the first time ever. Go Cav!

I was sad when Wout Van Aert beat him on Champs-Élysées because it would have been a great way to break this record and for the past two years, I've been rooting for this single win. To be honest, I thought it was impossible for him to win again but it makes me really happy that he has proved me wrong. Congratulations Cav, a well deserved victory and record

Bravo, grand respect 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻

Awesomeness he did it🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations Cavendish~!!!! You are a legend🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

More than well-deserved ! ! ! Congratulations Mark Cavendish ! ! ! Manx Man ! ! !

..knew it... those drama on the starting stages is an out of the box tactics....this is a great milestone for cycling especially for those who's rooting for the missile in this 35th project... chapeau to my guy CAV!!!

awesome ! chapeau sir

You still have those mighty strong legs. BZ.

I got my Altura Nevis signed by Cav at leazes park in Newcastle in 2011. Somehow i managed to leave it on a train not that long after! Wish i still had it!

Man such a legend❤

Sounded like a Donnybrook about to break out with media at end.😄

CAVENDISH!!!!!!! You did it !!!!!

Absolute legend 💪🏻

*Alabado sea el Señor. Todos mis problemas han sido resueltos. Imagínese pagar una deuda de 15.000 dólares. Dios bendiga a la Sra. Angela Naomi Jones le estaré eternamente agradecida🇺🇸🇺🇸*

Chapeau Cav!

You did it, Mark... well done

NOW I can die in peace! MUCH KUDOS and major CONGRATS to the Manx Missile!! You did it despite all of the setbacks, naysayers, and many throwing up road blocks to try and stop you in the recent past!! IF 'King Eddy' is even HALF the sporting champion he is touted as being, he will be one of the first past champions to congratulate you on this accomplishment, either by phone, or in person. 😉 Records were made to be broken after all, even the ones set by the 'immortals' of our sport.

Absolute Legend!

Well done Mark well done!!!

Congratulations Cavendish 🎉

Legend of TDF

What happened at the end of the interview?

Finally, we have another modern day legend!

I Watched Cav Sprint to Victory in the Second Stage of the Tour of Missouri into Cape Girardeau Missouri. That Was 2009!!

Broken record but so much has to go right to be in a good position to attack these sprint finishes and in the biggest road race on the planet he's still managing to move the gear faster than his competition out of the pack. He's a marvel and now unrivalled.

I wanted Cav to get a stage and Kuss to compete for GC. 1/2 ain't bad.

Happy for Cav, congratz! Sad for all the guys that got pushed and elbowed out of his way

Congrats!

God bless you, boy!

Finish last on each stage and then beat everyone when they are tired 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
