Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 5: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne > Saint-Vulbas, 177.4 km

[RobertCrawley]

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

Ah no. Eddy was the greatest of all time.

 

[Salvarani]

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

He did a Sagan

 

[Barnacle Bill]

From looking like OTL on stage 1 to a great win, chapeau

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Not really bothered by Cavendish but happy for Astana to get a much needed big win.

 

[RobertCrawley]

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

That fact amazes.

 

[titan31]

God ES are going to be insufferable for the rest of the Tour. Even more than usual.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Vino option!

 

[rallybanana]

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

What are the chances he could reach #40 in this race?

 

[Rackham]

Now watch Merckx come out of retirement for his own #35 next year.

 

[will-10]

This bloke is utterly unreal. How many times can you pick yourself up and go again - at least once more.

 

[titan31]

Cavendish!




That move from Philipsen, though! Took out Stuyven.
At least I think it was Stuyven, Pedersen was pretty far back.

Pedersen and Bennett I think

 

[dobrien]

That was utterly magical from Cavendish, realised Morkov wasn't in the right spot so stole Alpecin's leadout then drafted Ackerman and threaded through at the right time.

That was an unbelievable win; very fitting his 35th showed he still has what it takes. That was something else to watch.

 

[Berflamand]

Bardet, Girmay, Cavendish. This is a Tour of fairytales.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Good, Cav won, now go home so we can talk about what's important.
So, about those Euro 1980s bands... where was i...

 

[Peyroteo94]

This is him!!! This is what he does!! GOAT!!! For sprints like this, I say this new generation is very weak, he is 39 years old and still is Tour's stage winner. Incredible bike handling, incredible acceleration, this is the real deal!!

 

[Squire]

Him being savvy isn't a great surprise, but I didn't think he had something like that in him. He literally smoked everyone.

 

[Froome]

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

Crying in his room? He is already training to make a comeback to the Tour next year.

He needs one more win now. Finish the story Eddy!

[RedheadDane]

Pedersen and Bennett I think

Yeah, I just saw.
Well, mostly about Pedersen. Guess who Danish TV has most focus on.

 

[jono]

Glad he got the record if only so we never have to hear about it again

 

[Boehmand]

This is the Tour that just keeps on giving.

1st Bardet yellow
1st Arkea victory
Girmay the first black stage winner in history
Pogacar going nuclear up and especially down Galibier
Cavendish taking the record

I love it

 

[RobertCrawley]

From a guy throwing up on Stage 1 to the class of the sprint field. Just incredible. He suffered for the record. Chapeau.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

OMG, Teddy vs Eddy in one race. Wet dream of half of forumites is about to become reality!

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Now watch Merckx come out of retirement for his own #35 next year.

I hear all you need to do is to eat enough carbs during the stage to get your watts up. If he focusses on sprinting, should work. I mean he's not old, he could run for president in the US.

 

[spalco]

*** me, that's incredible. What an achievement. I didn't think it's possible.
