British cyclist Mark Cavendish has broken the record for Tour de France stage wins, securing his 35th victory in Saint-Vulbas, France. The 39-year-old Astana-Qazaqstan rider surpassed Belgian legend Eddy Merckx's record of 34 wins. Cavendish expressed disbelief and gratitude to his team, saying they "went all in" to achieve this milestone. This triumph comes after a disappointing crash and collar bone break forced him out of last year's Tour, which he had considered his last. Cavendish's teammate Cees Bol praised his performance, saying "he f****** nailed it." This historic win marks a remarkable comeback for the British cyclist.
