for the record, here's Merckx' GT achievements.

DSQ means he was hoofed for doping. that doesn't happen anymore though

Also, interesting to note that if you count up his stage wins, Merckx has the same number as Mark Cavendish. Who knew that little factoid?

Isn't that the main reason everyone was crying for him to get a ride? 

'But the record!'

I'm sure that factoid has been one of the most spoken about pieces of info at the TDF since Cav found his groove again..... 

(I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic, I have very little social aptitude)

Race for red. On! Can the Steppers hang on?

This is the first time that Roglic was beaten in an IT during a Vuelta

Dominates the climbers up all kinds of gradients. Klaps 55.7 km/h on a pancake course in a ‘race of truth’. 
The versatility of today’s GC 25 yrs and under, remarkable.

Daai gogga is ‘n bliksem, hey. These professional athletes train, recover and periodise with precision so so so persistently. Then to get the red light after a lateral flow test. Yoh.
