The " Manx Missile " wins the 5th Stage of the Tour de France!

So cool to watch Mark Cavendish blow by everyone at the end of Stage 5, making him the " All Time " leader in Stage Wins! His 35 wins is insane and as the second oldest rider to ever win a Stage of the Tour, it is a judo for the " Old Guard," ha! Of course he is young enough to be my son, but few competitive bike riders are riding by their late 30s!

Watching the drafting and maneuvering at the finish was so like making a killer pass at the end of a road race, you have to appreciate the timing, the technique and the power.

Congrats to the King of the Isle of Man!

An incredibly powerful sprinter. Stage 1 was not kind to Manx Missile.

Steaming on Peacock. I am not sure if this is the exclusive provider, but that’s how I’m watching.

Cmon BS1, it is more like IMSA with the tactics, maneuvering , and actual road courses. Some of the finishes are so dynamic and they often mirror tactic moves similar to when cars/drivers see a small break to make a move and find the finish line. At 21 days of racing , it is the 24 Hours of LeMans for Bicycles..............a racer has to love the strategy imho!
