Win number 35 was vintage Mark, showcasing his unbelievable skills against the best sprinters in the world. His win showed that sprinting is not just about power, but also about teamwork, racecraft, and experience with the Manx Missile proving he has all of those in spades.

Unreal from Cav and his team. Brilliant, I don't think outside cycling , people realise how special he is. Certainly one greatest British sportsman.

@lesflynn4455 2 күн бұрын

I'm not British , just an Idiotic Australian. I've been following Cav's career since 2010 when I returned to cycling. His skill, his will and his bollocks have never been in doubt. But his dedication to achieve this 35th tdfv win have been an epic thing to witness. The moment between Cav and Vinokourov during Cav's press conference was beautiful. Two veterans. Vino believed in Cav and gave him opportunities when nobody else was willing to do so. Now Cav has delivered. It's a beautiful story in bike racing. Thumbs up to Vino for believing, and to Cav for doing the business

Dan - Thanks for staying in the office late to make this video. Fantastic. No surprise. At least these are the long days of summer and you may have returned home late, but still during daylight hours. Please let us in the GCN Community know how we can support the effort to get you and GCN back into a place where you can provide commentary on racing real-time. It may not be the TdF just yet, given other big-time media outlets' stakes. I'd be happy to hear you call some random lower-ranking race. It's all about cycling, big-time or grass-roots.

I must admit, I was literally sat right on the edge of my seat, shouting at the telly at the end there! The level of grit and determination, in addition to the talent of course, to achieve all that he has despite all the bad times that he's been through is phenomenal. He's a true legend, and simply the best. Chapeau Sir Mark Cavendish, and chapeau GCN and Dan Lloyd for this fabulous tribute to him and his achievements.

I hope he finds something worthy of his capabilities. A ton of people, (and organizations), could benefit from that. Sir Mark has made his mark, and I hope he does so again in other walks of life.

Hats off to Cav, what an amazing record! I read somewhere that Pogacar would need to win a stage in the 2036 TdF to equal Cav's longevity, which gives you some idea what a monumental achievement this is, particularly as Cav is a sprinter which is a discipline traditionally favouring younger riders. We seem to be in a bit of a golden age in cycling,with a great like Cav delivering a moment for the history books and fierce competition between Vingo, Pog, Remco, Rog, where the final result could go to any of them, and there's also amazinng classics riders like WvA, MvdP, Girmay, just an exciting time to be watching racing!

People that have NEVER met him say hes a d1ck but he was always cordial and nice with me. I I want to thank all the haters for doubting him. That is when Cav shines the most!!

I see direct to consumer being a great thing and a challenging thing at the same time. I live 17 miles from my closest bike shop, I say closest I don't mean best. I have had to learn everything about the new Sram Red group set so I could install it myself, Thankfully Sram has been very helpful. I had to buy the appropriate tools required to install a Kogel T47 bottom bracket, Torque wrenches, Park tool carbon cutting blade, Fork tube cutting jig and countless other tools. If I would have had a bicycle shop in my town or even 2 towns away I would have bought my new bike from them. Not everyone is going to buy enough tools and learn how to build a toad bike from the ground up. So, How again is direct to consumer a good thing ? I live in Oregon where we don't have the local bike shops in every town anymore, If I lived in South Florida I would definitely have Grant build all of my race bikes. Thanks for the honest opinions about the bicycle industry.

@@chrada1976christie Was Pedersen's crash all part of the careful choreography? Because I can't imagine Pedersen agreeing to do that to facilitate a win for Cavendish. Nor can I imagine Jasper Philipsen agreeing to forego the chance of a stage win given his reputation. Everyone was trying to win, it just happened that the road opened up at the right time for Cavendish and he was able to use his devastating kick (and, as Dan pointed out, jumping to the space on the left to put clear air between him and the rest) to seal the win.
