That’s blown things apart. QS let that gap get too small, this is going to be a tough final 50km.

The time Geraint Thomas wrapped himself around a telegraph pole, and got back on the bike.

I'm ambivalent about wanting Cav to get the record. Of course I do want him to, but on the other hand, this is Eddy Merckx. More than a sprinter, the cannibal who ate everything

Simon Philip Yates is out.
He might have had a shot at a Pyreneean stage

Merckx has plenty of records. The two riders can never be compared.
Right now I just want to se the Wolfpack eat the peloton.

Hmm... we always end up with certain mythic figures through sports in general. Products partly of ability, partly of their time. Remember that under slightly different circumstances Lance Armstrong would be inscribed in the history books with the most GC wins of the TDF. It seems healthy to have people chipping away at them sometimes.

Superb, absolutely superb.
I do actually prefer the same footage but with (and although it matters not) the music, i.e.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
Wish I’d put money on it!
I might just have something in my eye!
Hope Cav does something incredible!

A man who devoured his teammates to win, doped to the gills no doubt.
I mean obviously I think Merckx is the greatest rider of all time, just saying it’s no bad thing if bits of that are challenged. I hope one day he’s toppled altogether, though the changing nature of training and competition may make that impossible.

Certainly the greatest sprinter.

I kept away from all things tour today then in a zoom meeting with mil, bloody fil blurted out the result 
Fantastic win. All he has done is equal the record, he has yet to beat it. All he has to do now is survive the Alps and make it to Paris. I for one, will be biting finger nails all the way.
Can we expect a tribute if he gets to Paris? Paint the town green. Let him lead out on champs elysees....

Prudhomme will try to do something...maybe get Merckx to present the jersey?

I think I posted my dream here the other day where the other sprinters don’t contest and led him win, but I’m not sure they would do that and don’t think Cav would want to break the record in that fashion such his respect for the race! I’m genuinely impressed how Cav appears in interviews after wins, it’s all about the race and the team rather than him. It’s a change from the early career cockiness.I kept away from all things tour today then in a zoom meeting with mil, bloody fil blurted out the result

Cav and Merckx could be twins
That would be tricky. OK, get the jersey presented by Mark Renshaw. That'll get the tears flowing.
