It is and it isn't. He was by far the most dominant sprinter of my lifetime (as a cycling fan), he was almost unbeatable in flat stages for 4-5 years, against mostly much bigger guys, so much that the Tour changed their traditional parcours and his palmares has its own wikipedia page. He looked certain to beat merckx's record, to much consternation among cycling fans, before things went downhill for various reasons.It’s crazy his only 4 tour stage wins away from Merckxs record.
Axel didn't win any TdF stages just GdI.It’s crazy his only 4 tour stage wins away from Merckxs record.
Should have joined DQS too.Cav, tick.
Next, Froome.
Would have literally made 100 times less moneyShould have joined DQS too.
tbf so does Griepeland his palmares has its own wikipedia page.
I think those two, Valverde, Armstrong, and Merckx are the only ones that do.tbf so does Griepel
I'm pretty sure Sagan has one as well.I think those two, Valverde, Armstrong, and Merckx are the only ones that do.
How'd I forget Sagan and Cancellara. I'm surprised MvdP already has one. I just looked, Armstrong originally had one but must have lost it with everything. For a time I thought Froome had one too.I'm pretty sure Sagan has one as well.
After looking it up, I can say that on English Wikipedia only Cav, Greipel, Merckx, Valverde, MvdP, Cancellara, Sagan and Marianne Vos seem to have one.
i mean i can create a whole page for your palmares too if you want...How'd I forget Sagan and Cancellara. I'm surprised MvdP already has one. I just looked, Armstrong originally had one but must have lost it with everything. For a time I thought Froome had one too.
You can use my gamertag and Nintendo account name and put those stats up. Then my placings in amateur running races. You'd be the real one.i mean i can create a whole page for your palmares too if you want...
Don't say 'Sky' you'll be giving him flashbacksSky's the limit at this rate. Love to see him win a Grand Tour stage again.
Hopefully that stage 18 or whatever flashbacks.Don't say 'Sky' you'll be giving him flashbacks![]()
Why? Do they have a magic doctor?Should have joined DQS too.
I was actually thinking maybe try the first week of Giro and go from there on continuing or withdrawing for Tour or Vuelta. Either way it would be good for him to race at a GT level.If Sam Bennett chooses the Tour, which he probably will, be interesting to see if Cav wants to act as support? Or choose his chances in the Giro?
