Cycling sprinter Mark Cavendish could be on the verge of history in the Tour de France -- if he can just stay on his bike long enough.
You see, in the TdF, you have to finish within a certain time behind the winner, or you're out of the race. And sprinters aren't very good climbers, so they can get cut from the peloton if they can't climb the mountains.
Today, Cavendish barely made it. And this is not the toughest climbing day of the 2021 Tour -- this is.
So, if Cavendish can stay in it, he's good enough to win a couple more sprints. Two more would tie him with the truly legendary Eddie Merckx.
