SIR MARK CAVENDISH rolled away the stone and made it look easier than pushing a hoop downhill.
At 39, the Manx Missile did not just sprint into Tour de France history and join Britain’s all-time greats with his record 35th stage win.
Cavendish blew a raspberry at Old Father Time himself with a sporting feat for the ages which beggars belief.
He will always cherish the 165th win of his career, which took him past Belgian legend Eddy Merckx as the man with more wins than any other in 121 years of Le Tour.
A knighthood last month almost seems insufficient because Cav is Britain’s undisputed king of the road.
