It is absolutely amazing.
Mark Cavendish, the 36 year old British sprinter whose top line career everyone thought was over, not being selected to ride the Tour de France since 2017, got a place this year almost by default through injuries to other riders.
Not a huge amount was expected of him, but already he has won two stages, now holds the green jersey and is closing in on Eddy Merckx's absolute record of 34 stage wins.
It is gripping stuff
