“Cavendish makes it for the 22nd time on the Tour @TdF 2012”

This is a guest post by Mr.Q, a professional quizmaster and an ardent Tour de France fan who is reporting his 4th tour

Cavendish wins for the 22nd time on the tour.

Just as I had predicted in my last post, about how Mark Cavendish of Team Sky was waiting for a chance to prove his form, he rode a blistering sprint in the final 600m and won the second stage in this year’s tour, his 22nd win in his career. He thus equals the record of the famous sprinter of yesteryears – André Darrigade, and also showed that his form for the Olympics is formidable.

Fedrigo repeats at Pau

Pierrick Fédrigo of FDJ-BigMat rode a race, which he had planned for the whole of two years!! In 2010, he won the tour stage ending at Pau, and after missing the tour last year due to health issues, rode in to Pau as the winner in today’s stage, repeating the feat first done 2 years back. With this win, he too like yesterday’s winner Luis Leon Sanchez, has 4 stage wins in the tour.

Voeckler in King of Mountains jersey

Thomas Voeckler, the spirited Frenchman on the Europcar team, who has an excellent history in the tour in the past, having won stages and also worn the Yellow Jersey, showed today that on form, he is a class act. The most aggressive rider today, in the later half of the race, he kept a relentless pace in the front, without ever thinking of his displays in the last 10 days, none of which were inspiring in the least, to dish out a painful but rewarding ride in the end.
