Stage 6 of the Tour de France was not only the third sprint in this year’s race, spanning 160 km from Tours to Châteauroux, it was also the stage that Mark Cavendish first won back in 2008. 
Faced with tough sprint competition from Tim Merlier (Alpecin-Fenix), Nacer Bouhanni (Team Arkéa Samsic) and Arnaud Démare (Groupama - FDJ), we couldn't help but wonder: could the Manx Missile do it again? Or is it time that we all move on from the dream that Mark Cavendish can beat Eddy Merckx's record and leave the poor Brit alone?
