Thanks For The Memories Cav

Written by SP Roulers at 16:19 8/7-2023

  As a sprint focused team, we take a moment to recognize the glorious career of Cavendish at the Tour de France.
  
  It could have been 35 stage wins, he had the form coming in 2nd yesterday, but the uncertainty of the Tour can strike anyone at anytime, including Cav.
  
  Very unfortunate way to end such a decorated career, but still as great as the great Eddy Merckx.
  
  34 Tour wins.
  Career fin.

  I am probably OCM's biggest SP hater, and even I have to admit that Cav really has had a unique career. I always tried to find excuses as to why it wasn't really him being great that made him win, but he won so much that it eventually shut me up. ;)
