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

[@ondrejnovotny7628]

Are they actually making it?

[@lizbitterman2858]

Oooh I hope they are making a season 3!

[@jamskof]

I doubt it. Netflix did some pretty dishonest tricky editing in the last season. A lotta teams will have pulled out

[@joranwasbezet]

I'm not going to watch this season because the first one was horrible, but I heard this season again was all about glorifying crashes

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!

[@frozenbean]

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

[@PazLeBon]

wasnt sly at all, he even thought momentarily is this the right way to say it and at the end of the day it was haha

[@hernanhernandez3861]

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

[@gourami7]

That must make it so special for both of them, just incredible !

[@justinbranham7708]

I remember back when Renshaw was leading Cav out for THC/High Road. If the leadout train got to the front, nobody was catching either of them. There were several stages that Cav could have slammed on brakes and let Renshaw win, then taken second because they were so far out in front. It was an incredible 1-2 punch back then.

[@hernanhernandez3861]

@@justinbranham7708 Yes, I remember those days. Seems like Renshaw has been retired for a long time now. And Cave is still at it....

With this Phillipsen, oh absolutely.

[@FredAmaya8]

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

[@fanda6122]

might get flamed but they really bungled it frankly as much as I love cav the key moment was ditching philippsen for Ackerman they basically led him out if p doesn't have to start and stop and start again idk that cav wins, pedersen also way out of position and crashes chapeau to cav for surfing excellently astana actually were smart by going to the front early because they knew they would likely fade in the end compared to the stronger teams. very clever.

[@luckyspurs]

Especially knowing how much he's looking forward to retirement. To put it back a whole year because he knew he had 35 in him and didn't want to forever resent that last year's crash took it from him.

[@davidpratt814]

Absolute legend and congratulations Mark Cavendish the Manx missile

[@JM-bt1uy]

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!!!!

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 😊.

[@Officialnrb]

Obviously not if Cav is still beating them at 39

[@luckyspurs]

It's amazing how much the last few years have added to his legacy. He was already a giant if he'd never won past 35; but to put on the wins he has, is otherwordly.

[@noprofile9]

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

[@RowingThings]

Absolute GOAT.

[@gohumberto]

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.

@@andrewhope5735 Not to mention his ( and others) ability to ride through real pain. These guys get up after sliding off or crashing at 20+ mph, remounting their bikes and riding on.

[@Svartez]

such a shame there's no Champs-Élysées sprint this year, would have been the perfect win to end his career

[@DuderinoDeux]

Olympic road race?

[@vickiep4217]

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.

[@pda3095]

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 !!

[@richiewatkin3292]

Can you please correct the title of this to Sir Mark
