    A crash last year in, IIRC, the first stage in which he broke his collar bone meant he didn't get the chance to do it last year in what was the final year of his contract. All credit to Astana who immediately offered him an extra year if he wished to postpone his planned retirement. Hopefully, he can win a couple more stages this tour and make his record even more difficult to beat.

    As a cyclist myself I watched the last hour of yesterday's stage and, as he crossed the line, with his chain having come off, I put both arms in the air and exclaimed "Yes, Cav, 35". Said it all.

    Not sure if you watched in on Eurosport, the only thing that stopped it being perfect was that Carlton Kirby didn’t call the action
