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.
Merckx was Froome, Contador, Valverde, Cancellara, and Boonen combined together. No reason to hate.
 
I just dont understand why some are so upset about Cavendish getting the record or not.

Or why compare him to 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.
