If I win only one more Tour stage in my career, I think I’ll be happy with only one more win.” — Mark Cavendish. “Only one stage in a Tour de France makes a rider’s career, let alone a rider’s season. Only very few of the 198 riders in the peloton are out there seeking stage wins. Any professional cyclist deserves his drinks on the house for the rest of his life if he has a stage of the Tour de France to his name. But Cavendish is being a little disingenuous nonetheless.
