No British rider has won three stages in the Tour de France before.  Mark "Cannonball" Cavendish really is a Very Fast Man Indeed.

I yelled "G'warn my son!" and "You beauty!" :D

That's the cake, the raisins and the icing. Champs Elysée for the cherry? Can we hope for that?

Well he said he doesn't thinkhe'll make it to Paris cos he's feeling really tired now.

If he gets the Lanterne Rouge as well as stage wins, he'll qualify as a True British Hero. I'll seek him out to buy him a drink myself.

Still, there's no dishonour in sprinters being broken into weeping wrecks by the mountains. The lad was at the back through the Pyrenees. Not exactly the natural habitat of a fast-twitch monster like Cav.
