    We need to be really careful with the rules here. Many people get the rule 2.3.036 ("Riders shall be strictly forbidden to deviate from the lane they selected when launching
    into the sprint and, in so doing, endangering others.
    ") wrong. It is not forbidden to change your lane. It is only forbidden to do so when endangering other riders. Mark does not endanger anyone by changing his lane so there is no reason to disqualify him. It is not his responsibility what other do on his backwheel as a response to his change of lanes. @

      How about causing chaos behind him is not endangering anybody ? He knows what he is doing. But in reality the rule is only applied if you bump somebody into the barriers. And not always then even. Because nobody really sticks to their line. But there is not going 100% straight, then there is moving from one side of the road to the other in 1 second or 2 like Cav does.

    When I saw the headlines waking up this morning, I put on the entire stage replay while I was working because I wanted to see how the day would develop and it was well worth it to witness history for both Mark Cavendish and Biniam Girmay. I watched the documentary they did for Cavendish, and I thought it did a really great job showcasing the highs and lows of his career. Understanding his career trajectory made that win feel incredibly satisfying as a cycling fan.
    In terms of how the stage ended, I see it as hard sprinting and no reason to DQ anyone, especially given how the UCI have chosen to enforce/not enforce this rule in its history. This conversation is always going to come up because the rule exists, but I personally don’t think the rule in its current language really lives up to the spirit of how the sprints should be. Regardless, I see zero reason to doubt that Cavendish was 100% the fastest man on two wheels for the day. Congrats

    Watching the race in real time, and seeing Cav surf the wheels, you could just see, OMG, he's going to do this.
    On one point though, I disagree with you. The wording of the UCI rule is:
    "Riders shall be strictly forbidden to deviate from the lane they selected when launching into the sprint *and, in so doing, endangering others*." [my emphasis]
    I don't think Cav was close to being DQ'd by the rule here; not even close to being close. There was nobody near him as he moved left and nobody he cut off. No reasonable person could say that he "endangered others".

    I am happy to witness Cav's record winning sprint competing in his 15th TDF at 39 years old (reminding me of somebody that won a major tour at 42). I often wonder how many victories Merckx would have won if he competed in more than only 7 TDF's. Has anyone ever been able to win more than 9 stages in one TDF as Eddy did in 1970? I never cease to be amazed at videos showing Merckx climbing in a huge gear with his upper body rocking while producing an amazing 276 pro victories.

    • @choctawone8266
      @choctawone8266 3 дня назад

      It's silly to try to compare the two. Merckx could certainly have won more than 35 stages, had it been a goal. But, remember, he was in the race for the yellow jersey overall. There were breakaways he let go, and other tactics that were reasonable, but interfered with a stage win. Kudos for Cav, though, 35 sprint wins is epic in its own right.

    I don't think that sprint was against the rules:

    That sprint wasn't endangering others. There was no one he had to chop or cut off.

    I'm really glad Cavendish beat the Record, the way he was flying through the top 5 bobbin and weavin up to the front was incredible reminded me of how he sprinted in 2021.
    Now let's hope Cavendish can get through the rest of the Tour without crashing cause I really think he can beat Phillipsen on the rest of the Sprints if he's in the position he was in today which was great to see, also hate seeing Mads Pedersen crash he had a really good shot at winning Green but I think it's over now cause Phillipsen is closing in on points in 4th position👀.

    Also, Cav had so much room when he was moving left that he wasn’t endangering or causing issues with the sprint. He could’ve gone left right left, done a couple somersaults and still have been not affecting the peloton. I honestly think it was more Jasper or the EF rider moving to follow Mark that caused all the chaos in the peloton. I was more concerned with that initial bump with the Bahrain victorious rider when cabin was trying to get in Jasper‘s wheel would be flagged.
