Mark Cavendish

Post by Real Al »

The greatest sprinter the tour de France has ever seen.

Five years after his last win and at the age of 36, he just won another stage.

Does he have a chance of winning the whole race?

No, brilliant sprinter, but you need the ‘whole package’

Requires more endurance, than probably any sport on earth.

Hats off to anyone that succeeds doing this.

Merckx also had 5 Tour Wins

An absolutely epic achievement.

He thoroughly deserves the individual SPOTY award, the England football team can have the team one if they win.

Historically been a bit of a big head, but age seems to have humbled him. Been genuinely taken by how thankful he is for the opportunity that he's been given at this time of his career. He's not even the best sprinter in his team!!

SPOTY for me.
