    What would normally be just a ceremonial run into the French capital also has a sense of the end of the old era too as 36-year-old Mark Cavendish attempts to win one last time and beat the tally of 34 stage wins he shares with Eddy Merckx. Image Credit: AFP

    The 22-year-old Pogacar’s hard work is done this year, and Merckx tipped the Slovenian to take a tilt at his “real record” of five Tour de France wins. “He looks like the new ‘Cannibal’,” Merckx said in reference to the Belgian legend’s famous nickname. Image Credit: Reuters

    “I’d have told anyone they were nuts,” Vingegaard said when asked what he would have replied if told three weeks ago he’d be second on the Tour de France. “Tadej was so strong in the rainy stages, he won it there in the rain." Image Credit: AFP
