To be close enough to look over the shoulder of Merckx is no mean achievement. TonyH replied: Indeed so, though any who have researched Merckx will know that despite the often mentioned "legend" term, in fact his achievements are highly suspect. He came after Anquetil whose name is God in French cycling who freely acknowledged taking things to help. Let us get this straight, Cav is already one of the greatest sprinters ever to take part in the sport.

I wish him the best of luck in chasing EMs record of stage wins. He unquestionably has the talent, it is the luck he needs. If he stays out of trouble, he has the right team and a lot of good sprinters have already dropped out of the race. Good luck Mark. Siren Song replied: Zabel was better.

He came after Anquetil a God in French cycling who freely acknowledged taking things to help. Hang on I need to check my maths, "Cavendish came into the three-week race with 30 stage wins He now stands just three stage wins away from legend Eddy Merckx's all-time Tour win record of Hmmm, maybe should've added to word "breaking" in there somewhere Matt and Harry.

And plainly he is already a great so "on the brink"? Doc Daneeka replied: Should have read "on the verge" at the end. More comments Back to top. Top Stories. England's Genge out of Australia Test. Wales secure play-off place at least. Should clubs stop flying to domestic games?

MarkCavendish x pic. Cavendish's Deceuninck - Quick Ste teammate Iljo Keisse showed that he is just as handy on Photoshop as he is winning 6-day track meetings. The GOAT!! Congrats MarkCavendish with an impressive record LeTour. Whatever Keisse can do on his computer, Specialized can do bett It wasn't just the world of cycling getting involved: former rugby star and BBC broadcaster Brian Moore believes the achievement should be measured on par with England's success at the Euro football tournament.

If Cavendish takes the all-time stage wins record, and England win the Euros, his achievement will probably not get the acclamation it should, but on any metric you name it is one of the highest.
