How much does it cost to Oldham?
Bloody colleague posted about it, and they don't even follow cycling. I WAS trying to avoid the news until I got to watch the highlights.
Grrrrr
Aww as if you ever doubted

Don't you have to wait a while between honours, he's only just got the Knighthood.
There's an entire spoilers thread for it yet someone just can't help themselves and has to shoot on everyone who can't watch live and is avoiding other sites that don't have "no TdF spoilers" policies.
Well done to Cav. Badly done to the OP.
I think that was added later, maybe by the mods. Pretty stupid and ineffective, as you note.[*]so utterly stupid they though writing Spoiler next to the spoiler made it invisible?
There are six or more Lords Smith at the moment. The abbreviated title need not be unique.No time limit just not done as it don’t look good. Anyway Lord Cavendish is already taken.
It just simple excitement allied with a bit of thoughtlessness?
- Malintent?
- self promotion?

He should be given the same honour as the man whose record he took. Baron Cavendish! 😉

Yes. It’s always Lord someone of somewhere.
I've only got a passing interest in the TdF as I suspect many others on here so I thought this achievement should be remarked upon. I would tell you The thread 'Fantasy Tour de France 2024 *** SPOILERS ***' is a fantasy TdF in case you can't read.
My sister had already done the same thing so I was slightly less irritated by this thread than I otherwise would have been!
Sister, reading BBC news: "Oh, Mark Cavendish..."
Me: "Thanks for that - you just spoiled the excitement for me!"
Sis: "Eh, I haven't said anything yet!"
Me: "Well, unless he has crashed again, injured himself, and retired on the spot OR been abducted by aliens, OR fallen into a 500 metre deep sink hole, (whatever)... then you have given away the result of a very significant sprint stage in the Tour de France!!"
So, to the OP or anybody else thinking of starting a thread like this - even reducing the title to "Cavendish" gives the game away. In fact, even starting a separate thread with the title "Today's Tour de France stage result" would have done it! (Why else would someone start a new TdF thread when there is already a perfectly good one fully equipped with a SPOILER warning?)
Anyway... That has to be one of the most amazing sprints that I have ever seen! Maybe he can get one or two more but I hope that he has the sense to retire as soon as possible after this Tour with his reputation high, and his body intact!
