[Pogue Mahone]

That is just...lovely.

Chateauroux today, where it all started for him in 2008. Come on Cav.

What a stage! What a bike racer! What a story! You wouldn't back against him taking the record now.

Forgive my ignorance, but how many more stages does the old stager need for the record?

He has 31, Eddie Merckx's record is 34.

 

[Albion in the north]

Yesterdays was the the first stage this year that I could watch some of it live on ITV4.
Followed by caravan racing from Ipswich!

ooh, ta, come on the MANX MISSILE!

 

[Beach Hut]

Potentially another Super Cav finish today

 

[Stat Brother]

Nice gaff.

The other 21 'sights of the region' have gotta be adequate.

 

[Beach Hut]

Looks like Super Cav has 32nd stage win, photo finish

Confirmed, King of the Sprint

 

[wolfie]

He's done it again !!!

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Bloody Hell! He is just magnificent.

 

[The Fits]

Amazing scenes

 

[Bold Seagull]

Dunno if I was emotional for Cav or from seeing a patented Bouhanni handlebar slap.

Didn't even get close enough to justify a bar slap this time....just a mystified sideways look...

 

[zeemeeuw]

You just couldn't make this up.

 

[Bold Seagull]

So 35th stage win on the Champs-Élysées anyone who is writing this script?

 

[nickbrighton]

c'est magnifique

 

[rogersix]

Bloody Hell! He is just magnificent.

32! can he eat the cannibal alive?!

 

[Motogull]

That was a bit cheeky from Cav it has to be said. Sitting two riders up with the line in sight is a bit iffy. I bet he wouldn't do it to Pete.

When those two trains turned into the middle of the road, I was a bit worried.

 

[Weststander]

This Cavendish renaissance is heavenly for me, I love the rider and character.

I’d never written him off, but had assumed that probably the next gen of young gun sprinters now had the power.

Helped of course by his incredible lead out team .

A true sporting hero, absorb it now in real time.

Agreed.

I thought that those days of screaming 'Come on Cav!' had gone. But I've been sucked right back in there.

In the days of Wiggins and Cav we were utterly spoilt. I loved Bradley, but Cav always had it in my eyes.

To me, he's one of the greatest British sportspeople ever.
