Tour de France 2021 Favourites stage 21: Cavendish for his 35th

image: Cor VosMark Cavendish's date with the Tour de France history could earn him the all-time record of 35 stage wins.

The Manx Missile is on fire this Tour. He won four out of five sprints. The only other succesful fast man, Tim Merlier, pulled out of the race in the Alps.

Cavendish has won on the Champs-Élysées four times, although it has been awhile. He powered to victory on the final day of action in four straight Tours from 2009 to 2012.

With his win in Carcassonne last week, Cavendish matched Eddy Merkcx’ all time record of 34 stage wins at the Tour de France. So a new triumph would cap off his incredible comeback.

I bet my house on Mark Cavendish winning yesterday’s sprint finish! Well £10 🙂 still let’s hope he can do it tomorrow in Paris. Good luck Mark and your team Strictly Quickstep
