I, and every other fan of cycling, is thrilled with the story coming out around Mark Cavendish (Deceuninck-Quick Step). Without a contract at the end of last season, Cav was considering retirement as his only option. Then the organization that is Deceuninck-Quick Step, the same whom he had ridden for at the beginning of his career decided that they would give him a spot on the team. Next their sprinter and winner of the Maillot Vert in 2020, Sam Bennett was scratch from their Tour team due to knee problems (and possible bad blood since Bennett is leaving the team at the end of the season). That meant the Cav got an unexpected chance to return to the race he thought he would never be in again. Then the day before the time trial he won the stage to literally everyone's delight (even those he beat in the sprint). That stage victory meant he now had the Maillot Vert that he had one 10 years ago in Paris. Now today he won yet another stage. That brings his life time total to 32. With two more stages he will tie the record of the great Eddy Merckx. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
