Cs to try and win a stage at the toour of France if he gets this one it’s number 35 and he will have the record but there’s so many competitors and contenders in there a few of them who have to move

of it it’s flattened out and here we go 1,000 M sha it is time to go it’s time to Sprint yes it is time to get into the good position certainly not to start your Sprint but be in that position now as we go into this final run to the line but we can El into Corner in a great position here but you have to hold that position as well mat and theol here also he is vital if he can get to the position where he leads out his Sprinter MCO is just a couple of Wheels behind cavish at 750 m to the line a reminder them approaching the five final 100 m into a headwind and 500 M against the wind is a long

35 stage wins more than anybody who ever came before most doubted he believed a day he and we will never ever forget the record belongs to Mark caves we watch we enjoy we sit AB absolutely stunned and stunned is word absolutely stunning The Way of watch Mark Cavendish weave his way through like days gone by we haven’t seen it for a while and finally Mark cavish elbows out protected himself all the way and he just just dominated that Sprint from even back in 8 nth position and he changed his line away from yasper Phillips and he said I’m going back to the left I need it to open up for me he followed the slipstream of Bennett and as they came around that final bend the wayes parted Cavendish had a quick look to the side over his shoulder and went with everything he has ever had in those legs and it’s 35 for Kev Sean Kelly can you believe what you have just seen well amazing and you know we know Cav dis over his career positioning he’s able to just you know get himself into position if he’s in that good position going into the Sprint he can you pick his line and again today he does and gets the record and you know after what he’s been through in the last number of days to be able to do this you know a big big champion and he proves it once again at this point in his career you had that feeling it looked like it was all coming together and this is how it did come together he was positioned but he followed the Wheels himself Sean yes we can see him here just you know waiting and uh just looking around sticking the elbows out and then you know just keeping the position on and needs to kick the Sprint when he when he FES the time to go when he kicks off but look at the power he has here also know impressive arms in the air mark aves standing on the shoulders of giants

    1. Watched it several times. Mark is the goat 🐐. The respect from the peloton as a new history is written, fantastic. Great job from the team and the belief Mark had that he could do it sensational – chapeau🍾

    2. Merckx is the best if you look at percentages. To put the Cavendish achievment in perspective. Merckx participated in only 7 tours while Cavendish participated in 15 tours. In 1973 Merckx didn't participate but the year before he won 6 stages and the year after even 8 stages. You can't conclude he would have won 7 stages in 1973 but 0? 6-8-4-6-8-2-0 the tourstages Merckx won.
      Still, must be said winning 35 stages is an impressive achievement for Cavendish. He's the most succesfull tour sprinter ever and i don't think there will be someone who breaks his record.

    3. Questions will be asked in years to come on how it was possible for Cavendish to win this stage. A rider who was out on his feet after the first two stages… Possibly wont complete the tour, but something does not fit right in this stage win… Time will tell.

    4. The sprinter peloton complained about the last straight line in which a bend had been provided by the organization. In response, the sprinter teams gave the stage victory to Cavendish. It was very striking that the good sprinters kept their legs still. Merckx's record victories were erased from the history books and everyone is happy.

    5. Such a beautiful moment.
      Cav – 'nah i gotta go see the boys'
      Dunno why but was expecting maybe a bit of jealousy or grudging respect for mark if he got this but the pure love,respect and admiration shown for him by everyone has been amazing.

    6. The way he goes to all his team and congratulates them is special. Special person extraordinary human being. Retire now Mark. Don’t temp fate. You’ve achieved everything and more. Retire with your lovely family. It’s been a pleasure watching you.

    7. I wont lie, I cried when I saw the win. I've followed Cavs entire career. Met him a dozen times, have 10 pics with him amd have the same amount of autographs from him and they are all framed on my wall in my man cave. I wouldnt sell any of them. These are mine FOREVER!!! 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!!
      SIR CAV THE LEGEND #35
