Written off, 5 years without a win.
What a fecking hero, such a great guy, absolute mega fit.
Not bad for a lad from the rock in the middle of the Irish Sea.

Ironically that’s exactly the Tweet I sent to him yesterday when he said he was feeling nervous

His emotional interview afterwards was quite something. Really pleased for him, his family and those inspired by him.

I cried!

He’s now favourite for green jersey and might even get the record for stage wins. If he wins again tomorrow , where he’s win before, it’s game in fir green in Paris. I think I’ll cry like a baby if he wins the sprint in Paris.

Re: Mark Cavendish stage win #31

It was a remarkable result.
He only made the team after Sam Bennett had to withdraw. Saying that though, he had won 4 stages in the week long Tour of Turkey a month or so ago, so he was showing signs of a return to form.

When he trains on the Island it’s occasionally with the Kennaugh brothers, Jonathan Rae, world super bike champion, Dave Knight, world Enduro champion and some of the other super bike lads. They’re an incredible bunch of super fit elite athletes and incredible to watch.

What would his passport read as ?

Wikipedia:

"Because the Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom, its passports do not carry the words United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the front cover and on the biodata page. In their place, they have the words British Islands: Isle of Man."

He does actually come under the term 'British national' even though he does not come from Great Britain. I was being a tad playful.
