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)
