those sprinters losing almost an hour and looking 20 years older at the finish line... they do this big climbs way way faster than any of us amateur cyclists! People who are making jokes about them should ride the big Alpine passes and look how long they can hold the pace of the grupetto

[@paulstewart7759]

Yes Sir. That's the type of ride that makes the legend live on.

[@mercurial_cyclist]

Cav respects the Tour, he loves the Tour, he wouldn’t dream of not trying to complete it if physically able. These guys have a full on desire to finish what they start, like Fred Wright the other day OTL and physically shot but he wanted to finish. How many times do you see warriors keep going to the velodrome in Paris-Roubaix even though they know they’ll be OTL? They have respect for their sport and respect for their peers. There’s quite a few faceless internet fans who just don’t seem to be able to grasp that concept. Every man who fought their way over 5,000m of climbing today deserves nothing but respect

[@Big_Island_Boi]

Well. Yeah. That an probably their PAYCHECKS are tied to their results... including finishing the races. No finish, no pay.

[@mercurial_cyclist]

[@Big_Island_Boi]

"We know what we're doing." - Mark Cavendish

[@andrewbocho3896]

Mark has done a hell of a lot for British cycling: probabaly the most and he is one thing that we can be proud to be British and there aren't many we can be pround of at the momemt. And the best thing is that his record can never be beaten and his name will live on for years and years.

[@SixtyTwoEleven]

He did already say in earlier stage that it is all calculated and that principle purpose of the time cut is to stop sick or injured riders from carrying on.

[@me-xj7et]

I’m pretty sure I heard him say “we’d better win the fucking sprint on Tuesday” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mattieoo12]

No, he said "they better not sprint on Tuesday, cheating bastard's" Listen carefully

[@Kingkongkirk1234]

Some of the other sprinters must have held onto a car or had a tow in the valley

[@IanEE69]

Must have been DSM who were in the same Grupetto, but came in 30 seconds in front across the line. Though to be honest 'Motored' might be the right word... how Cav's grupetto who were at 12 minutes back at one point managed to make it up the climb only 2 minutes down on Bennett and Mohoric is another question....

Mark can sip champagne the rest of his life but he won't be able to ride the Tour, the rest of his life, the phrases greatest and legend are used far to often these days, but they do apply to this man, here's to the memories Mr Cavendish, thank you.

[@MVProfits]

If he hadn't given his all to race on, he would have regretted it forever. But he must have questioned himself many times on that stage! That takes mental fortitude to the max.

Sorry, FYI, there'll be no usual Champs-Élysées sprint finish in this year's TdF. Due to the forthcoming 2024 Paris Olympics. And in lieu, this year's, 21st & final stage will be a 35Km Time-trial from Monaco, and will end at Place Masśena in Nice.😅

[@Hubertus-ko6yl]

no hobby cyclist could drive as fast ad Cav - huge work. His last year.

[@gohumberto]

Cav is in a whole different league to me but I can relate, as a former Audax rider, to arriving back with absolutely zero left in the tank, and just curling up at the road side. On PBP2011 I was running so close to the time limit, and so tired, I spent the final 50km repeating the phrase "No punctures ..no punctures .... no punctures.." because I knew that would have put my out of the time limit. In the end I had 36 minutes to spare but that's closer than you really want to be.

[@LoyalAlpharian]

Does PBP stand for Paris-Brest-Paris? If so, isn't that race like 1200 km? Chapeau for even making it!

[@butchgreene]

Can't imagine NOT riding across the line at the end of the tour. His biggest cheer ever awaits if he just makes the cutoff from here on out.

[@nickpilgrim1966]

Got to say with almost 5,000m climbing and 5 big climbs to be only 50mins behind the likes of Pog is incredible.

[@skinthekat0530]

Is Cav hanging in for stage 16 or to end his career with another TDF finish? I think both.

[@living4speed680]

That's me after a 3 km hill climb 😅

[@chicklechives]

Cav to finish his TdF career with a win on the final day? Would be more romantic in Paris but not this year

[@perrycrimmins1]

It would but the final day in Nice is a time trial. That’s a very big ask for Sir Mark, even though he is an absolute legend.

[@davefoc]

Not a word about Bram Welten? He didn't beat the time cut. I imagine he's pretty bummed? What happened? Was it too tough? Did he have a fall? Was he sick?

[@foreLeftFCH3]

People who don't ride long distance rides or races have no idea how hard Cavendish has tor ride to make it. I have done 30 plus grand fondos and can be in a fast group, get dropped and be 30-45 minutes behind at the finish easy and were are not riding the Pyrenees.

[@tonyg3091]

You kids shut your mouths! Sir Mark is not struggling to make the cut and finishes when everyone else is in the shower, he is just fashionably late. This is aristocracy things, you wouldn’t know.

[@RideMoto35]

[@a.campos891]

He knows how to endure suffering. He has 5 children, and that is more hard work than this stage.

[@DeepakKumar-lv4te]

watching pro riders get over the line , so easy to take it for granted. Then you see the sprinters staying within the time cut who are still ridiculous riders, you get just a sniff of the levels involved. Extraordinary.

[@FreemasonV8]

They got helped by the organisation pre climb, they ‘accidentally’ stopped showing the gap for a bit and suddenly they had a gap cut down 4-5 minutes when it showed again. The ASO didn’t want all of these guys to be cut due to Pogi and Vingegaard riding too hard up the mountain. What a shame, and actually just plain cheating.

I don't get it. All his teammembers risk not making the timecut by draging him over mountains, so that he, maybe, cant get some glory on a flat stage, where, again, his teammates do all the work, so that he has some energy left for a sprint. If it's the teamsport everybody's talking about, put all these workers with him on a potential podium, and not only praise him for his wins...
