Mark Cavendish made cycling history on Wednesday, winning a record-breaking 35th stage at the Tour de France.
The 39-year-old has now surpassed legendary cyclist Eddy Merckx after winning a chaotic sprint finish at the end of the 177.4 kilometre fifth stage from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to Saint-Vulbas.Breaking Merckx’s record, who last raced in the Tour de France 49 years ago, has seemed almost impossible for any cyclist, even Cavendish.
Cavendish had reversed his decision to retire from the sport after crashing out of the 2023 Tour de France and this year is likely to be his last appearance at the race.
