GOAT?? Are you kidding. Never won the Tour, never won the Giro, never won the Vuelta, won one monument. Greatest sprinter? Maybe. GOAT?? hA, HA! That was, and is, a cyclist named Merckx. By miles and miles and miles over Cavendish.
@@danmetz5112 a cyclist named Merckx He tested positive at least FOUR times... He got kicked out of a Giro d'Italia (which leading for 16 stages in '69), after winning Lombardia in '73, at Fleche Wallone in '75, then in '77 for amphetamines...
Only new to watching this sport and I'm so surprised how happy you can be for someone you've never met and only watched a handful of times. Such a genuine person. Well done!
He's hit the deck a million times with that bobbing and weaving the last few hundred meters, but when it works, it's amazing to see him flow through the other riders. Like watching Picasso paint.
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!!! I want to thank all the haters for doubting him. That is when Cav shines the most!! SIR CAV THE LEGEND #35 🤘🏻🏴
@@MaxxerG thank you. These pics and autographs are some of my most prized possessions. Even BEFORE he got #35 they were some of my most prized possessions but now that he made history they are even more so if that's even possible. I'm sure there are plenty of people that would love to purchase just one but I wouldn't part with a single one!! Not a chance My best one is him and I together at the hotel (I was staying at the same hotel as his team) and he's in the green jersey and I am wearing my Union Jack like a Superman cape. The next pic is him signing my Union Jack. That autographed flag is professionally framed on my wall with those two pics mounted within the frame. I then went out to the team bus and took a pic with Mark Renshaw and had Mark Renshaw sign it as well. It's such an incredible piece. The memories attached to that day and that piece has to be my MOST prized possession overall 🤘🏻🏴
There is no doubt he is the best sprinter.Now to compare him to Eddy is a joke. Cavindish is just a great sprinter in that should be' the end of this as fare as i am concern.
His decision making in the last couple of K was spot on. Popping back out at the front every time it looked like he'd been boxed in. His team did a great job from 30k out, making sure that he was there or thereabouts towards the end, but the train went to pieces before the final km. Cav's ability to pick the right wheel, see the gaps, know when to open up, see when the rider in front is about to blow etc etc. Phenomenal.
Absolute cockwombles, I'm going to go back and troll them all. People mocked him when he Said after stage 1, we know what we are doing. I'm so happy for that man.
Cav has acted like a baby a number of times in full view of the cameras. He's a great sprinter, the way he came through the middle today was beautiful. He can also be a baby. Both things can be true at the same time.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 He's human. Like all of us he's not perfect. At the very least you know he wears his heart on his sleeve.and does not give a phony PC appearance.
Unbelievable, so pleased for him. The overhead shot of him weaving his way through from 1km to go was phenomenal. I have huge respect for the climbers, but for me, there is nothing that compares to watching this guy work his magic in the sprints. When you throw in him being 39, his injuries, his mental health battles, and how badly he struggled on Saturday. Unreal.
I made a fool of myself with Mark In 2003. I lived at the Gold Coast in Australia. I had raced Inline speed skates on the pro tour in 2000, but in Oz I took up bike racing. On one of the training rides I saw a new guy and asked him if he raced, it was Mark, didn't recognize him In person. he just said yes.
39 year old sprinter! Respect overflowing. He’s got family and kids which he’s sacrificed for years to be away from to achieve the world record. You could see him hold back tears, all that sacrifice paying off.
@songofyesterday At 39 years old and still winning sprints , I think it should cause concern about the quality of pro cycling these days. Congratulations to Mark , he has gained great respect from the peloton, which helps a lot.
Could I just say a word about the commentary....this is what it should be, just great and bringing a wonderful record live and making it exciting to hear
FANTASTIC coverage to Watch the greatest sporting events 'live' is a joy to behold.. It is a Family day out .. sitting at the side of the roads, waiting for these guys to pass. The atmosphere is electrifying .. Tour De France 'mega' Congratulations to the organisers and in absolute awe of these amazing riders; their skill and endurance is amazing .. Marky 'the bullet' CONGRATUATIONS
Well, I’ve got to eat my words and gladly! I thought Mark was over the hill, but he’s proved that he’s the best sprinter ever! No one can surely beat 35 wins. Well done Mark, well done! The greatest sprinter all time. Better than Eddie Merckx. You really are the man, and a knight to boot! Congratulations!
Good on ya mate!! 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!!!

SIR CAV THE LEGEND #35 🤘🏻🏴
Over the last 2 decades watching Cav in the last km of a sprint stage has truly been something to behold. Every single young sprinter with aspirations of attaining World Tour status should be studying how Cav operates. The split second decisions choosing the right wheel and holding position are unbelievable. Even darting to the left as he jumped to stop Jasper having a straight line draft again another split second remarkable decision! How many world class sprinters have challenged his crown for a couple of seasons then faded away? To still beat the best in the world over 2 decades is the mark of the GOAT!!
Obviously the sprint was good, but the real feat is the YEARS he’s been at it since the ‘Cav’s done’ days. The disappointments, the press, the fading possibility - to come back at it relentlessly. That’s grit. Hat off. GOATEST of the GOATs

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🍾
It looked like Cavendish was boxed in, but somehow he found a path through the other cyclists to get to a contending position. Well won, well deserved!
It's obvious from the handshakes and compliments how much respect the "old lad" has among the peleton! Congrats, Mark! What an incredible ride it has been!
I hope Astana gets all the publicity in the world for giving him and us these opportunities and moments! A lifetime of work summed up in a sprint. Chapeau Mark!
Tears just tears awesome achievement. Respect 🙏🏼 if you watch his documentary you will know what he-has been through as professional cyclist, human, father, husband and team mate. Not discounting emotional self doubt, injuries, mental health, but at the end of the day and here we are at the end of the day his resolve and determination to dig deep and deliver for his team who gave one last chance and his family who stood by him. Take a bow Cav outstanding 🙏🏼
Most of Mark Cavendish's finishes have been nail-biting, edge of seat experiences,,,but this one takes the cake,,,EDGE OF SEAT cycling history historical moment
The best sprinter of all time. Every sprinters jersey for every grand tour. World champion bands, most sprint wins in grand tours. Exceptional Palmares
Sometimes, there's no other option. I did it one night at about 22 mph and was very impressed. When you have to excell, or else, then, you get it right!!
Finally! I have been hoping for this for a couple of years. Grew up watching him dominate with HTC Highroad. Happy to see him write his name in the history books solo, not alongside Merckx. What a legend. Bravo!
Mark Cavendish isn’t just standing on the shoulders of giants - he is now one of the giants himself, the gold standard against all who come hereafter. This is how it’s done, nobody gifted it to him; he won legitimately, cleanly and honorably. Chapeau Mark!
You make it sound like Patrick ditched him for no good reason, but there is a long-term plan to build a GC team around Evenepoel, and that's just the reality of things: there is no place for a Tour sprinter in the Quickstep line-up. The one that made the wrong choice was Cav staying a year too long. And Patrick made him rise from the dead, back in 2021 when Cav was on a dead end with Bahrain. If anything, Cav can thank Patrick for a pretty brilliant lead out train in the Tour of 2021, or he would have been 4 down.
