Let's not forget about Astana. Not many teams (read ONE) were going to build an entire team around an aging sprinter just to give him a shot at the record. Chapeau to them for playing a huge part in helping him achieve this historic record!

[@WanderingSword]

Astana and Vinokourov took and gave Cav one more chance after last Tour. I would say all credits (outside of Cav himself) go to Astana and Vino

[@dmoore4520]

This Cavs win was SPECIAL. Not just a win at 39 but his 35th win in emphatic passion, working through the traffic, and smoking the "best right now" Jasper. Wow. Chapeau!!!

[@IJustLikeBikes]

It was a masterclass. He looked like he won effortlessly, even if he probably left it all on the line. Surfing wheels and breaking perfectly.

[@starlitshadows]

The position he was in getting boxed in at the rails on the left then after having to weave his way out on the right. Unbelievable. Glad he did it like this too. I never counted him out so it's satisfying to see him silence the doubters.

[@CyclingStevens]

Love Cav, but a special mention should also go to the rider directly behind the crash who bunny hops over the rider on the ground, great instinctive skills

[@shepshape2585]

@@CyclingStevens That was absolutely epic!

[@starlitshadows]

Yeah that was impressive. And I think he was impressed with himself too because he looked back like, "did anyone see that?!" 😂

[@LordTechnopants]

My better half was very shocked today when I yelled "f*ck yes" this afternoon at the top of my voice in our living room. She nearly dropped her Nintendo Switch. I'm not a shouty person, but I was so tense this after, I had to let it out when he won from being so boxed-in. I am so happy. Well done Mark. We luv ya. Amazing!!!

[@jonathanlong3356]

That was me at work today, first the shout, then some tears. My coworkers think i'm nuts

[@starlitshadows]

I don't shout either yet I got up and yelled "Yeeeeeeees! Never count him out!" Was so happy to see him finally do it after all he has been through. Even fighting through stage 1. Amazing

[@chrisrichardson3782]

Didn’t Francis say in a previous podcast that he would drink his own urine if Cav won one more stage?

[@SkylarsRnD]

He did

[@daveygee434]

I was stood next to the finish line and saw him win. So emotional. What a great end to my holiday ❤️

[@StimParavane]

Wow! A once in a lifetime event.

[@emilsalman2734]

Hey guys, what's the point of putting a big spoiler warning, IF YOU'RE PUTTING THE SPOILER IN THE TITLE?!?!?!?!

[@SkylarsRnD]

THIS

[@cokebottles6919]

So happy for Cav, he was already the GOAT sprinter, but seeing him lock in the record was special. If he does commit to retirement after this, I hope he feels that accomplishment. Also, gotta shout out to the Astana team for backing him and getting him there.

[@cb6866]

I feel lucky to have seen that , in this era of riders , that guy is a BEAST ! Wow... that was cool . Thanks Chris , Emily , and Jimmi .

[@Tilemason1]

Looking at the overhead and the headon video, it pretty much looked like Jasper the Disaster swung over to follow Cav. It looked to me that he may have taken Pedersons front whelle out and caused that crash

[@rob_cd]

Thanks for posting! I look forward to your perspectives. Big congrats to Cav from Houston, TX USA!

[@aliverbirduponmychest3055]

He has been winning for 20 years and winning TDF stages for 15 years. He chooses the right wheels every single time, he was boxed but got onto Ackermans wheel knowing once he jumps he will open the gap! I predicted before the race he will win 3, that wasn't even a contest! Without that illness, terrible luck with crashes and being written off multiple times and left out of TDF teams we should really be talking about him winning 50 TDF stages! This race is far from over, I feel Pog will fade and Jonas get stronger

[@shepshape2585]

@@aliverbirduponmychest3055 I was with you right up until you said Pog will fade. Pog is going to winnthis Tour by at least 5 minutes, probably 10.

[@stevenhowes530]

I saw the news earlier but I wanted to wait to hear you guys talk about it.

[@lojeda]

Cav is 39 years old, that means he's living his 40th year, for me: A 40 year old Knight just broke the record of most stage wins in the TDF

[@boriente]

Sounds like the stuff of legend to me. A 40 year old Knight on his two-wheeled steed winning 35 battles over decades in the TDF.

[@amc5966]

Epstein-Barr and clinically depressed. It's unfathomable. It transcends sport. He's an not a legend, he's an icon. Johan Brunyneel. "Cav won his first stage in 2008 beating Eric Zabel. Eric Zabel's son Rick Zabel just retired.".

[@iann23]

I'm tempted to buy a Wilier bike just to say thanks to them and Astana for going all in on Mark. In fact, sod it, I'm clicking buy in a few seconds.

[@quacker998]

N+1

[@ChrisHallRides]

Happy new bike day!

[@MartinMenky]

This has been the first time I've cheered a sprinter on since Peter Sagan :) what a finish that was!

[@747driver3]

Jonas juicing his mind out right now. He has no mind left with which to play games. Wonders who will do all the work so he can win. There are MANY better overall riders in this race. Cycle racing rewards the climbers far too heavily. Jonas is a weak stick.

[@tilde4350]

I'm so happy for Cav! I really felt the same way you guys talked about yesterday. Wanting it so badly for him but not thinking it would actually happen. But sometimes the stars align!

[@bobcr]

how is it that the bunny hop over the Trek guy crashing down has gotten *zero* attention?!

[@paulmiddo8552]

The Manx Missle did not disappoint. Perfect wheel surfing technique

[@Thomas-fy9yc]

Was that Jasper Phillopson that darted across the front and caused a crash behind Cav? That man is reckless and needs to be censored, he darts around like a hummingbird to get on the fastest tail.

[@MM-kt5dv]

A gap didn't just 'suddenly appear' and Cav happened to jump through it - Cav followed Ackerman's wheel knowing Ackerman was going to go and that Gibbons was a lead-out man and was going to fade, giving him space - that's what makes him such a good sprinter.

[@johnrodgers6049]

Spectacular Cav!!! How many more stages will he ride in this tour?

[@ManxAndy]

As a Manx man…..🇮🇲. Sir Mark cavendish’s sprint was totally vintage Cav….hopping on the wheel, banging shoulders, moving across the road, then just as you think….where’s he going here…..to late….👌👍🇮🇲🏆

[@a1white]

Who knew we can get the TdF for free in the UK on ITV4, not just highlights but live?! Absolutely blown away by discovering this, today 😁

[@andrewfoster3193]

Merci For the show nice to see a Lady keeping it going Andrew from France

[@steezymtb5876]

It's kind of absurd to say "twilight of his career" when he's still beating the field 😂 Such a great feat to accomplish, happy for Cav.

[@michaelmechex]

I don't even like Cav, but I gotta give it to him, his determination to go against the odds that are ever decreasing is inspirational. For two years he worked hard for one goal and seeing him achieve it is satisfying.

[@alannohlgren]

Just a millisecond before you said it, I had the exact same thought & the exact same phrase--this was a Michael Jordan moment! . Perfect!

[@andyand100]

you just made me cry cAV THE REAL DEAL😊

[@jamescarlphotography4523]

Legend. Even more so as Cav has benefited from lead outs but unlike many sprinters, he doesn't need one. He can surf wheels and timely hit the air better than anyone I've ever seen.

[@chrischevalier6107]

Thinking Sagan owns that. Cav has had pretty good teams built around sprinting. Not taking away anything from the greatest sprinter in TdF history.

[@jamescarlphotography4523]

@@chrischevalier6107 totally fair point with Sagan. I’d include Robbie McEwen as another who was incredible on his own. With Cav, whether it was Renshaw or Hincapie launching him or it fell apart, he could still deliver the goods.

[@TheBassallyear100]

saw that clean pair of wheels and screamed OMFG!!!! and he did it with a dropped chain at the line!

[@johndef5075]

That would have been a disaster if it cost him the stage.

[@ndennan67]

@@johndef5075think him dropping chain cost him a stage last year before he crashed out. But thankfully this one came off literally just as he was crossing the line so he’d stopped peddling

[@K777John]

@@ndennan67-it wasn’t his chain last year but his derailleur-it went out of adjustment and was hunting between 2 gears-so bloody frustrating last year when it happened as Cave had the sprint won…..but he’s done it now!

[@julianmcwey866]

Who was the guy who bunny hopped the crash at the end ?? It was epic

[@ChrisHallRides]

Bryan Coquard

[@julianmcwey866]

@ChrisHallRides can't believe it's not all over you tube that's some serious bike handling

[@RobSAFC]

Anyone see the rider pull a bunny hop out in the sprint when the other rider crashed out?

[@flipper2gv]

Still can't believe what Lefevere did to him in 2022.

[@paulsymons562]

And in the news hes trying to take credit for taking Cav when no one else would. No mention of dumping him in a fit of petulance the following year. The man is a total wanker.

TDF 🐐 Don't give a flying f ruit bat now if Pog wins all remaining Stages by 30 mins ! Rolling into Nice with the biggest time gap in TDF history. History ! See Lance, that's what you could have won :(

I will say this record will NEVER be beaten. Riders now and in the future will not be riding in the main peleton long enough to get 35 or maybe more wins.

[@AnthonyBrown12324]

He won by a bike length + ; what a legend . He did the last metres by himself following the right wheels . and just an explosion blew them away in the last 100 metres .

Amazing win for Cav and yes it did bring a tear to my eye.

[@starlitshadows]

Jonas' comments weren't really a dig. I think he is just genuinely suprised he is doing as well as he is. The his time will come comment however tells me he believes he will get stronger. Which he usually does. Should make for an exciting 3rd week if so.

[@denisspratt926]

Finally he got it. I love that. Remember that Vingegaard lost about 30 seconds on stage 6 last year. And still beats the shit out of Pogacar later. There are 2 TTs that are longer than the one last year where Pogacar lost 1:38. And there are 4 mountain stages with long climbs in the south of France within the last 7 stages and the TT on the last stage. If Vingegaard is close to as good as he usually is he can take lots of minutes on Pogacar there.

[@maxwellmcdowell3744]

Congratulations Cav but I must say, sprint stages stink .

[@Judasswolf]

It wasn't 4h of nothing, they went through my hometown. 😊

[@gabrielfernandeztattoos]

[@AlexeiRamotar]

Y'all crazy. Vingegaard barely trained for this Tour. Many expected Pogačar to have ended the Tour by now. If Vingegaard gets top 5 that'll be an amazing achievement.

Monumental stuff 🎉 I can't remember a moment I felt this over emotional about a stage finish I was watching on TV. So far this TDF is the best first week in years for me. Great show. Guys Can't wait more🎉❤

[@yungteach]

Did Philipsen's quick move to the left create a chain-reaction to the cyclists behind him also forced to move more left... leading to Pedersen crashing into the barrier?

[@daveygee434]

Can we all spare a thought for the very tall amateur rider who crossed the line with his club. Took pics. Celebrated. Just to have his club colleague fall over, whilst static, onto him, wrecking his expensive seat post. Ouch. Sad end to a great day for him. Oops!

[@DanBrim]

More legendary: Cav, or Jimmi's shirt?

[@jimjam218]

Speaks of the longevity of Cav, GOAT, legend and generational talent. Whether it was the older sprinters with big lead outs and 1500 watt bombs, or when you think the young crop of sprinters are faster and stronger than anyone that has come before them, Cav has outlasted them and beaten them all. Saying that, I fancy Sam Bennett for tomorrow 😅

[@Gixer750pilot]

That shut them all up ! Well done Sir Mark . Psychologically the pressure is off him now so I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins another stage

[@ronfeldman4386]

did you see his chain break at the finish line?

I think Cav won his first TdF stage in 2008, so if the next GOAT is currently in the peloton we have about 15 yrs at least.

[@robertgale8694]

At the finish there still is a 3 sec rule that the GC guys still have to be within that timeframe behind the main front group. Only a mechanical or crash gives you the same time, easing off will mean you lose time.

[@darrelduke]

there was some argy bargy going on there for a quick second (which i am surprised no one complained about) on the run in, but he did it. glad i got to see it live, we were all invested in this.

Did you ever think that Jonas is not putting Pog down, but he and his team thought that his shape was not at the level it needed to be. And they are satisfied because he was not in bad of shape he thought he would be.
