“Geraint, you’re the most laid back rider on the Tour.”
“Is that because I’ve been lying down a lot?”

I think Slovenians are pioneering it.Wonder when that thing where all the riders of the winning rider's nation gets to the front got started... and imagine the crowd if a French rider ever manages to win!

I'd say it's a thing of novelty.Colombians definitely did it too.
Can't remember if Brits did it.
I assume they didn't do it in 2014. 17 riders would've been a crowd...
Only because Moscon isn't hereFroome does win something!
Nicest rider.

Cycling is LifeMy dad has a plaque on the wall of the USA Cycling Hall of Fame. He rode in the late '30s and early '40s. I was Literally raised on the sport.
Merckx is best left in his time.
Yeah.I just dont understand why some are so upset about Cavendish getting the record or not.
Or why compare him to Eddy.
Merckx was Froome, Contador, Valverde, Cancellara, and Boonen combined together. No reason to hate.He's NO Eddy Mercx. How many GTs has he won? None and Never will. He's a Great sprinter period. How many Momuments has he won? One and One Worlds. Mercx won 11 GTs and 19 Monuments. Let that sink in.
The Disregard for the Greats the sport has seen over 100 years is discounted so much on this board. Must be a bunch of youngsters here
EDIT: And Eddy sure as heck didn't need 4 teammates nursing him in so he wouldn't be over the Time Limit every time the road went up. No OTL watches for Eddy.
Not really upset, but I dont personally consider Cavendish one of cycling greats regardless. When I think of great riders, its versatile riders than can do lots of stuff and not just put their nose in the wind for the last 200 metres. Boonen, Cancellara, Valverde, Nibali, Gilbert, Contador, Armstrong, Ullrich etc. etc. I all consider better riders for sure, and thats just one the top of my head from riders I grew up watching.I just dont understand why some are so upset about Cavendish getting the record or not.

It gives one a different perspective than the normal fan. I adored BernardI was too. My father rode. I wasn’t around for Merckx but came of age with Hinault.
