This tour is already delivering hard. The netflix show is gonna be unreal.

And it all started on a small island in the middle of the Irish sea. Congratulations, Sir Mark & his team. The GOAT.

Mark Renshaw has been such a brilliant support for Cav and is himself such a wonderful person

If you watch the Lanterne Rouge video, how Cavendish described what happened with Morkov, Ballerini, Bol and himself was absolutely spot on. The guy remembers absolutely everything, even through emotion. He's just on it the whole time. Amazing cycling brain. Well done; so happy.

I love Geraint Thomas' sly little "at his age" comment (since he's 38 lol). Chapeau, Cav.

Thrilled for Mark... he could still go on to win more stages. Hope he does.

Renshaw from key lead out man for Cav and now his DS. What a journey for the Marks.

Cav pure Legend.... boy did he have to fight for #35... Chapeau Cav.

Amazing. Glad he did this without quick step on his jersey after what they did leaving him off the tour.

Congratulations to Astana for their superb support of Cavendish. It all went wrong last year but kudos to them for extending his contract and putting together a team to support him. Fantastic for Willier too ...what a marketing dream!!!

He's pretty much 40, competing with young, hungry riders in their 20's. Wins his 35th stage making history in professional cycling. What an absolute GOAT!!!!!

Such a humble lovely bloke. Great moment marked in history

Thanks for the Astana team, so happy to see such kind and commitment from a team for the cycling. Cong for the team too!

Bravo Sir Mark! Crying with happiness. Such a sweet and hard won victory!

Watching all the pros queuing up to congratulate him at the end says it all. Absolute legend! #TheGOAT

Let it be with his family and mates. Amazing CAV, what a legend. So much persistence.

Amazing. Cav's been a Tour hero for decades. He deserves his name in the books of Tour history.

Well done cav I've enjoyed watching you over the years you deserve this record.

What happened to all of the people who said that he's too old and he should retire? He's managed to prove a lot of people wrong, and he's done it in style against the world's best. Congratulations to Mark Cavendish!

Can you all please stop cutting onions?

Amazing. I've always been a fan but after watching his documentary I feel for him. I was on the edge of my seat as he pulled away and even teared up a little...well done Cav!

Just glad I have lived to watch all of this man's victories. He transcends sport. He is the total package. A fighter, a battler, ultimate skill. Thankyou Cav.

Massive props to Astana and the entire team. Will wear my Astana bibs proudly next group ride to commemorate this moment in cycling history. 😊

Absolute legend and congratulations Mark Cavendish the Manx missile

Feckin delighted for the Manx man..totally inspiring after all he's been through..

Astana Organization! Kudos guys for the best management of a cycling team ever. Incredible tactical management and vision.

Bravo Mark, i'm cryin' for god sake!

4 more sprint stages - come on Cav!! pile them on!

Everything Cav achieves from this point on is just gravy on top. 35 stage wins when some top riders never won one, and would give anything to do so. Happy to have watched Cav's whole TdF career on TV, and a few times stood by the road side. Hang in there Cav because I'm going to Villeneuve sur Lot on the 11th to take some photos of you.

So happy for you Mark. You're a true Champion!!!!! It was so nice to do it in front of the teams that didn't give you a chance. Cav is the Man!!!!

You see the joy in a riders' face, when they win a stage of the Tour. Many riders live for that one victory that is the highlight of their careers. To see him win his 35th, after the injuries, the illnesses, the struggles; unbelievable.

the way he threaded himself through the rest of the sprinters was masterful, congratulation mark cavendish you kept trying and trying, and finally you there 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍tinkoff👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

In my lifetime I've never seen any sprinters as good as Cav. But my top 3 - Cavendish Zabel Cippolini

Absolute Legend! Congrats sir.

He’ll win another one on this tour 🙌

Inspirational. Vintage Cav for the record 🦿

What a guy. A human dynamite. Not to be messed with. I reckon he’ll get 3 more now. Monkey off his back. He’ll enjoy his final ever tour. So pleased for him. Well done lad ❤

The greatest achievement in sports in recent memory and it's the third story on the BBC...

Never been the biggest cav fan but have listened to all this----"the standard of sprinters is so much higher than a decade ago-----" he still beat them all though 😊.

Geraint Thomas - great impression!

HE BEATS the record of the greatest cyclist of all time . he is so human and honest . I watched him all these years winning in Paris in his best years . Somehow aged 39 he has managed to win again in probably the toughest event in sport .

Like fine wine people can get better as they age especially athletes who take good care of themselves. Don't sleep on older folks respect their wisdom. Congratulations to Mark Cavendish, such a champ, such a cyclist, such a talent. I hope he goes for more because he can do it!

Renshaw as his Sportif, thats really cool! Celebrating this record together

The moment we all wanted to see. Legendary.

the tour de France, except the unexpected. the greatest show on earth 🌎 Sir Mark you are the best GB has ❤

CONGRATULATIONS MARK! I’m a fan and never quitted on you. You’re a great inspiration for never stop believing on yourself despite all you’ve been through. You’re indeed a legend and thank you ASTANA for never quitting on Mark. Salute to Sir Mark & the entire ASTANA Team. Cheers!

Been hoping for this for years. Couldnt have happened to a better man.

Gratz Cav what a legend

what a legend and inspiration - chapeau Sir Mark

A beautiful beautiful moment. Been here for every single one, every single race, and he navigated that messy sprint magnificently. We love ya Cav!

SO happy to see Mark finally get this. He’s a fighter and a legend.

Has to be doubly proud for Renshaw, both as a Sports Director and a Rider.

Congrats to Cavendish. After all he's been through to break Eddie's record, supports the old adage that winners never quit! Hats off to you Mark, I am so happy for you!

The GOAT and always so giving of himself. I so admire him, warts and all.

Congratulations Mark you beaut. Im am so excited that you had your 35th Magic Moment today. Executed like a true Legend and Cycling Champ 🥰✅👌🏻💯🚴🏻🚴🏻🚴🏻🤩

So happy to see this happen (even on screen only) in my lifetime. For someone who suffers every time the road goes upwards, this is almost unbelievable.

Really chuffed for him and very well deserved

Unreal achievement! One of the all-time greats of cycling and a British sporting legend

The amazing Tour de France thousands of families, watching an incredible sporting event ... to watch 'live' leaves you speechless, . Marky you have done it again . Congratulations

Congratulations, Cav ! Well deserved! Legendary rider!

Mark asking Pogi to plz dont break the record, haha! Lol! Mark this is increadible! If you ask me he is still creedy and will do every thing to win even more stages :D

Congrats Cav 💪💪 enjoy seeing your family 🫰for a few more stage wins 🚴🚴

So amazing! I coincidently watched the Cavendish documentary the previous night, i dont think ive ever been so excited over a sporting event😅

My father followed Mark's career from the first tour but unfortunately he died three years ago so missed this day, i'm glad he didn't see Marks crash last year and subsequent retirement announcement. He said he would achieve this record and now he has. He raced against Zabel AND his son who have both since retired. To think in such a physically and mentally demanding sport there was just under 16 years between first and last stage win.....unbelievable !!

I have been fan almost 20 years, well done Mark.

All those years Mark Renshaw was in front of Cav helping him, no he’s one of the team behind him helping him. What a team they’ve been all these years 👍🏻

I always said that you'd do it. Chapeau CAV you're the (best) man👍👏🍻

Chapeau to Mark and all the riders who helped him along the way. #TheGoat

Respect to a great sportsman

True champ ! Congrats Cav

❤ Congratulations ❤ Cavendish We all love you from Eritrea

The Tour de France brings us so many heros. Cavendish is just one of many in a long line. Viva the Tour de France.

Geraint’s cheeky little impression of Cav at the end too - such a character

Superb performance 🎉❤

Cycling immortality completed......so deserved....wow!

Brilliant. Such a great achievement and a Brilliant Competitor. Knighthoods get doled out a lot but this achievement genuinely requires MORE! Mark your a Legend and it's been a pleasure watching You. Thanks

Amazing, never gave up and showed the world time and time again that he’s the one of the greatest

Absolutely FAB! What a legend and more to come hopefully🚴‍♂️👍👍👍

So happy for Mark Cavs! Well deserved! Congrats to the team!

A true Legend is never too old to sprint🎉

What he and his family went through. Amazing! Congrats!

True Legend. Congrats Mark

Amazing Sportsman The greatest Manx Man Period You must be so proud IOM 🇮🇲

I am beyond thrilled. It could not have happened to a better champion. Chapeau Sir Mark times 1000!

And lets just take a moment to remember how he suffered during Stage 1. What a tribute to the the truth of never quitting ! Salute to Mr. Mark Cavendish !

Cavendish, what a sprintlegend. He always popped up a few times with victories that makes him special.

thanks this incredible team to promote my country!!!

Good to see the Manx Missile smiling! Congrats to the team 😊

Sports Personality of the year please

I remember watching him as an 18yo, being called arrogant. He was just shy and had a huge impact as soon as he was on the international stage, and was trying to cope with everything that came with that. He is perhaps prickly (😊), but that's part of what makes him so brilliant at what he does. Also, us Brits (poss only English!) really want our sports people to win, but the minute they show that and want to be competitive, they're arrogant/cocky ( see early uears of Andy Murray, Lewis Hamilton, Bradley Wiggins et al). It's a terrible trait. Also, in a cut throat event, for a team to invite a rider back, who seemingly seemed to have ended his career, and build the team around them, not just as an also ran shows the respect this man has, as also evidenced by the reaction of other riders. I was 'debating' this with someone who said anyone who doesn't win the GC can't be considered a great. Yes. Yes they can, particularly when they've done over the number of years he has, with all the setbacks, and his wins in the other major tours. Incidentally, he's only a couple away from that record. I'm sure he's happy at this one,but given he's got it out of the way, so to speak, he might just go for it. He just needs to covered in bubble wrap on the non sprint stages! It's just a shame he won't be finishing on the cobbles this year.

SIR MARK CAVENDISH ❤❤❤❤CONGRA FROM🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

Almaty Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Bravo cir Mark!❤😂

Mark I LOVE YOU ARE THE BEST 😍😍😍😍

World best sprinter ... i like 👍 u..... mark cavidish.... see u....

Living LEGEND, biggest winner of all time, hardly anyone will surpass him or at least it will take a long time, he deserves total respect and reverence!!!

Congrats Cav!!

I don’t think it’d be an exaggeration to say he couldn’t have done this without Renshaw. All those battles through the pack that he led Cav through to the front and now his sports director, perfect 👍🏻

Absolute legend!!!

Chapeau indeed.

Amazing! Congratulations
