It was a no doubter. He crushed the day.

Cav made that look easy. Hopefully now we can stop talking about it.

 

[dgodave]

Wow. That was actually amazing. Both the positioning and the power to hold the front.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Rigged

 

[Scarponi]

from almost retiring to winning a stage at the TdF. Have to give it to him for motivation

 

[Didinho]

Philipsen and the others applauding immediately for Cav. Love to see it.

 

[Ricco']

How Cav moved up and positioned himself

That was a masterclass

Behaved like someone who had nothing lose... All or nothing, first fighting for Philipsen's wheel, then looking for an open space.

Champion!

 

[Penninepeddler]

Incredible.

Great job from Astana to get him into those final 3km in good position through the curves...

and then a wheel-surfing clinic from Cav.

History.

 

[carolina]

Amazing!

 

[AmRacer]

Mission accomplished. Cav can retire now.

 

[movingtarget]

Looks like Cavendish could win more stages based on that win.

 

[Froome]

THE GOAT!!!! Incredible how he swerves!!!

Another GOAT? The peloton is full of GOATs.

 

[skippo12]

Turns out that removing the GC teams in the final 3km just leads to even more risky moves. Was getting anxious just watching them. The amount of riders swaying left/right and bumping each other was no another level.

 

[gunara]

Throughout his long career, I don't remember feeling happy for his win. But today I think I am, for whatever reason.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bol 'We f*cking nailed it'

Least sweary Dutchman

 

[Krzysztof_O]

The legend has done it! #35
Eddy crying secretly in his room.

 

[Salvarani]

Behaved like someone who had nothing lose... All or nothing, first fighting for Philipsen's wheel, then looking for an open space.

Champion!

I think it was more skill and finesse rather than brute force from the images.

drag stage?
drag race
Cav!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Fair F***ks to Vino ...he backed him when no one else would

[tobydawq]

Was it Renard who bunny-hopped Mads P? Incredible skill.

 

[Salvarani]

Cav is a legend

 

[Ricco']

Philipsen couldn't even leave Cav's wheel on his slipstream

 

[Gigs_98]

Absolutely outclassed the rest. No idea what his performance compared to the rest would be in a pure watts contest but the way he was surfing wheels, waiting for the right moment to stick his nose into the wind was incredible.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Watch the replay, look in the back, some Cofidis rider (Coq?) bunnyhops a crashed Pedersen at 60kph in one of the most baller moves I've ever seen.
