[Pacemaker]

Mark Cavendish wins his 35th stage to stand alone as the outright record holder.

Superb effort after everything he has been through, such a fantastic competitor who wears his heart on his sleeve. Sporting history being made today.

 

[Darran]

Magnificent.

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

Truly amazing achievement, especially at age 39. There seemed to be many occasions over the past few years where his career seemed over.

 

[Pegojack]

A fantastic sporting achievement. What a guy.

 

[Neath_Jack]

Roids.

 

[Pentyrchjack]

Amazing, kept it cool and timed it to perfection. Peta will be delighted.

 

[Cooperman]

One of greatest ever to get on a bike.

I have my annual Le Tour trip this weekend. Spending Friday in Paris and then moving on to Troyes for the weekend. Fantastique!

 

[Cooperman]

It’s Col du Tourmalet this afternoon, one of the most iconic climbs in the history of the tour and at nearly 7,000 feat it deserves its status.

If you are at a loose end in the early part of the afternoon then it will be worth a watch, it will be an amazing demonstration of human effort. I shall be riding from the comfort of my sofa.

Eurosport coverage is better than ITV4.

And that’s a wrap. Bike parked for the last time as Cavendish finishes the final stage of his final grand tour. Thirty five stage wins and one green jersey, one of our finest.
