Really interesting stats by Brian Hayes on Europsort.... Eddie Mercyx won 34 stages of the TDF but they included TT's and Prologues.... essentially Cav' is already the biggest individual road stage record holder... BUT.... it could all be set up for the The arc de Triomphe lets hope...
****ing brilliant.... ****ing brilliant.... they tried to crucify him..... his team were amazing..... ****ing brilliant Cav!!!!!!......!!!!!
A wonderful achievement, and a true mark of the man by his post-race comments. It would be fitting if he can win the 35th on the Champs Elysees in Paris.
That will probably be Cav's biggest challenge, getting over the remainder of these climbs within the time allowed.
The champagne flows and that's the riders. A few glasses and I'd fall off and be charged with reckless use of a bike!
