"fuck, I'm sorry".
Don't worry Cav you can swear all you like after that fantastic effort.

Chuffed to bits for Cav, why the wife started peeling onions at that moment I have no idea.

Cavendish an all time great, to overcome all the health issues and come back to win a stage is just brilliant. Hope he still has more left in him.

Cavendish. Wow!!!!!

Cavendish an all time great, to overcome all the health issues and come back to win a stage is just brilliant. Hope he still has more left in him.

When you consider those horrendous crashes, Epstein Barr virus, mental health issues in the last three years or so, and how old he is, it's an incredible comeback.

Do enjoy seeing Cav, with his head level with the drops powering through to the line.

An all-time great, no doubt.

How many so called sprint finishes are there left, dare we dream ?

Only just caught up, fucking hell that lad is a legend, not an easy sprint

He’s up there with our sporting greats like Redgrave, Hoy and Thompson IMHO

Unbelievable. Just watched the ITV4 highlights. Was hoping rather than expecting Cav would win a stage this year. That was raw emotion afterwards, utterly brilliant.

A great sporting day! :)
