My view is that in the last 3 days he is the best sprinter in the world by virtue of the fact he is crossing the line first, in sprints, in the biggest bike race. Right now there are no better sprinters.

I've drifted away from the TdF in the last 20 years, especially when Sky started to dominate, and taken far more interest in 1 day races and CX. But this year has reignited my interest. Road racing has changed for the better thanks to WVA, MvdP and Pidcock as well as Pog Rog & Alaphilippe...

And Pidcock is from Leeds!

Sure he crashed in MSR sprint on the Via Roma... Maybe the year Démare won and Bouhani had a mechanical as he opened up his sprint.

Cav's job is winning bike races. He is very good at it. Arguably the best ever in terms of road races. Problem? Not for me. Hugely entertaining, relented, dedicated and very very fast.

Mur De Bretagne - Stage 2 of the 2021 TdF and the best road riders on the planet, in top shape, are blown away by Mathieu VDP. Different class.
