British cyclist Mark Cavendish has set a new record for Tour de France stage wins after securing his 35th victory in Saint-Vulbas, France. The 39-year-old rider, who hails from the Isle of Man, had been tied with Eddy Merckx on 34 wins. Cavendish expressed his disbelief and gratitude for his team’s support in achieving this milestone, with teammate Cees Bol praising his performance. This accomplishment comes after a setback last year when Cavendish crashed out of the Tour and broke his collarbone. Cavendish first won Tour stages in 2008 and has steadily increased his victories over the years.
