Seconds towards the gc a very flat stage for the sprinters here just like two years ago when brian kokar won this stage after a very fast first hour 50k average we have a breakaway of five with corn from castle cyril ryan camp piotr havoc and jordi bouts
But the teams of the sprinters keep everything under control because today is a chance for those sprinters le mois and bouts are the last riders of that breakaway of five getting caught and then we have the blue train going towards the finish line the golden kilometer which sprints between tone

Caleb ewan but also the boys in blue the koenig quickstep with mikhail merkel leading out mark cavendish and swerving from one side to the other is tim merlier sprinting on one side of the road versus mark cavendish on the other side of the road caleb ewan tries grunover tries but it’s mark cavendish

The coding quick step with mark cavenish on the left side spreading out of control is a gearing problem there and is very angry for missing this opportunity to win his first stage back after that suspension but the winner of today is mark cavenish and look how happy he is with this fantastic victory

Cav the MAN!
And Evenepoel just casually picking up another stage race on his 'way to recovery' WOW.
King cav 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Ackermann is so bad this season. Can't even get out of the slipstream. But really impressive by Cav winning against Merlier head to head. Maybe he could even get a World Tour win this year. He should go to Poland maybe
Boring sprints
We get it – you're european and can pronounce the names of the riders. Can you actually provide some commentary, rather than just describing what just happened on our screen about 3 seconds late? It's like you're commentating purely from watching the highlights and haven't actually watched the stage.
What a remarkably intelligent and well-spoken commentator. Clearly she is fluently multilingual. I'd guess her mother tongue is Belgian or Dutch – being that they are well known multilinguals – but her RP British English sounds flawless to my American ears at least. Chapeau 🍻
Awesome to see cav still getting after it.
so why is he selling bananas? …. since he has a banana!
Finally some nice commentary Josephine 😀
Cav, still got the legs! Ridiculously this makes me so happy!
151 wins & more to come for sure .cav best sprinter ever . his sprint wins are so classy unique bike rider sheer class
Love ya Cav! You've gotta be at le Tour this year. So happy to see you racing winning and loving this wonderful sport again!
Loving Cav’s golden goodbye. Couldn’t write it better.
If Cav on form no one can’t beat him.
Pronounciation is perfect obviously of the Dutch / Flemish names but it's really hard to understand if you don't speak the language. The hybridised (butchered) versions of English first language presenters is actually easier to understand.
Deceuninck Quick Step should take Cav to the tour.
Cav has had the usual reduction of speed that comes with being in your mid 30's. But he was so fast in his prime that the reduction in speed has just brought him down to everyone else's level so at least sprint's are fair now. If the missile launched 10 years ago there was no hope for you 😂
He do it!
151st win!!!!….. damn… one of the greateat sprinters of all time…. hope to see Cavendish in TDF21….
Cav
Does Groenewegen wish he had mechanical gearing? lol
i love this women narrator
Can we see which team they belong at the end results?? 👍👍👍
