Do I then understand correctly that, if he wins the last day's stage he breaks Eddy 'whatsits'** record ?It's still a sprint for the stage win. Cavendish has won the final stage 4 times in all, and I wouldn't bet against him doing it again. Obviously the yellow Jersey is done and dusted now.
Yes if he wins Sunday’s sprint stage on the Champs Elysees he breaks Eddie Merckx record...... come on Cav, can’t wait to watch it👍Do I then understand correctly that, if he wins the last day's stage he breaks Eddy 'whatsits'** record ?
**don't know how To spell Merx.
Only when they first enter the circuit. After that it's every man for himself and if the race leader did get dropped he'd be toast.Can eg Cavendish make an attempt at a stage win or is it more or less over ?
Do all the riders allow the overall winner to cross the line first ?
Thanks.Only when they first enter the circuit. After that it's every man for himself and if the race leader did get dropped he'd be toast.
The actual race at the final stage is near the end which is 8 laps around Champs-Élysées circuit and for sprinters. The GC contenders hold their positions.Can eg Cavendish make an attempt at a stage win or is it more or less over ?

Seven or eight laps of the Champs Elysees when they get to Paris.Thanks.
What do you mean by "the circuit" ?
Apart from 2012 when Wiggins, in the maillot jaune, led out Cavendish (who was wearing the World Champion's jersey from his win in 2011) to the win.the leader will try to keep in visual distance of the front, but will stay well out of trouble.
