00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,200
I'm down at the Scottish Provident
site in Crickley.

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,880
I'm going to talk to a few
of the seven to eight-year-olds.

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,440
The first person I'm gonna talk to
is Mark Turton.

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,200
What's the season been like for you?

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,760
Quite good.

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,200
But I've had a few crashes here and there.

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,600
[reporter] Down here
we have Joseph Dooley.

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,280
He's in the under sixes.
Joseph, what are you going--

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,360
No, I'm seven.

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,600
Oh, you're seven? [laughs]

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,000
Right, now we come to the really fast man.

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,920
And he's Mark Cavendish.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,920
Mark is going
to the Scottish Provident Challenge '96.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,200
How do you think your form's going, Mark?

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,400
-Okay.
-Okay.

18
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:48,800
How are you going tonight?

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,320
Okay. I did better than I thought I would.

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,360
-Did you win, or were you second?
-No, I was about that far.

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,680
Christian won,
as he keeps saying. [chuckles]

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,560
Okay, well, Mark's going to Challenge '96.

23
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,960
Thank you.
We'll let them get on with the race,

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,680
they're just about to start
and the first line is off.

25
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,480
[upbeat music playing]

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,720
[commentator 1] A world champion at 21.

27

[people cheering]

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,520
[commentator 2] Mark Cavendish,
youngest British rider

29
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,000
to get a stage win at the Tour de France.

30
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,800
[commentator 3] He is the fastest man
in the world right now.

31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,000
There's nobody even comparing.

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,040
[commentator 1] There's the Missile.

33
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
[commentator 2] 70 km/h, what a sprint.

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,720
[commentator 1] He has got the big dream.

35
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,480
No British cyclist
has ever been remotely close.

36
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:43,880
Win number 25.

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,360
[commentator] Already,
he's taken the third most victories

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,920
in Tour de France history.

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,880
[reporter] From perfection,
where do you go?

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,960
What a way to stick it to everyone else.

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,600
-[indistinct chatter]
-Fuck off.

42
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,560
Is this live?

43
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,640
-[man] Yeah.
-Oh, sorry.

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,760
[commentator] Cavendish has been
disqualified from today's sprint.

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,560
You know that little thing in your mind

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,880
that says, "I shouldn't really do that."

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,640
[commentator] Oh, Mark Cavendish is down.

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,760
[reporter] Mark, how are you feeling?

49
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,680
[man 2] We get a lot of questions
about Mark Cavendish.

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,440
[man 2] He hasn't got it anymore.

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,520
[woman] The harder things got,
the less he talked to anyone.

52
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,680
[man 3] Stop cycling
and start a different life.

53
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,760
You don't go from
being the best in the world…

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,440
to nothing.

55
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,080
[people shouting]

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,400
I'd been many years…

57
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,320
just a winning machine.

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,480
[man in French] The Missile
of the Isle of Man, Mark Cavendish.

59
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,240
[woman cheering]

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,280
[in English] Without the Tour de France,
cycling doesn't exist.

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,320
Even before I rode the Tour de France,

62
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,640
I was obsessed with it.

63
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,800
These bike riders suffering
all these incredible distances

64
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,720
for three weeks in July.

65
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,800
[indistinct announcement on PA]

66
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,680
It's addictive. It's…

67
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,520
it's savage, but so beautiful.

68
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,720
So beautiful.

69
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,120
[indistinct chatter]

70
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,440
We race 21 individual stages

71
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,320
over 3,500 kilometers.

72
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,720
A rider wins one stage
of the Tour de France,

73
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,840
it makes their whole career.

74
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,040
Not just their year, their whole career.

75
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:19,800
One stage.

76
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,079
At this point in my career,

77
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,680
I'd been racing ten years.

78
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,240
I'd won 26 stages.

79
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,080
-[helicopter hovering]
-[whistle blows]

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,160
[announcer in French] Here is one of
the superstar international sprinters,

81
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,400
Mark Cavendish!

82
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,440
[cheers and applause]

83
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,160
[inaudible]

84
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,440
[Peta Cavendish]
It's just like a complete circus.

85
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,520
It's carnage.

86
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,920
[man] That's so cool. All done.

87
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,440
I try to make it as much as
an adventure as I can for the kids.

88
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,360
When I met Mark, I was a model,

89
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,400
and the photographer we were with said,

90
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,200
"Do you know that
he's a really good cyclist?"

91
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:08,720
And I was like, "Well, brilliant."

92
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,440
I'd never watched a bike race in my life.

93
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,200
Cycling's really quite a confusing sport.

94
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,520
But I realized what a huge part
of Mark's life this was.

95
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,360
So if I wanted to understand Mark,
I had to understand cycling.

96
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,000
[inaudible]

97
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,240
You have to have tunnel vision.

98
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,640
You have to be able
to block out all the noise,

99
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,560
all the distraction,
and focus 100% on what you need.

100
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,680
I had my trusted teammate Bernie Eisel

101
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,640
who'd been with me most of my career.

102
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,320
You put your life in people's hands.

103
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,480
You have to trust they're
gonna give you everything they have.

104
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,400
You see his emotions
and he says he's nervous,

105
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,320
so the last thing I should be,
is to be nervous.

106
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,680
We were like a married couple.

107
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,720
We have spent probably 180 days
per year in a hotel room together.

108
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,360
Bernie Eisel.

109
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,960
The best looking man

110
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,760
in the history

111
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,600
of cycling.

112
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,520
We definitely saw each other
more than we saw our wives.

113
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,000
[whispers] Bernie?

114
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Do you think we should get up?

115
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,160
[Bernie snores]

116
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,640
-[indistinct chatter]
-[scattered applause]

117
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,080
[announcer] The race is underway.

118
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,360
3,535 kilometers between
the peloton and Paris in the final.

119
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,360
[Bernie] Cav is a sprinter.

120
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,280
Paired with athletics,
you have a marathon runner.

121
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,120
You have a 100-meter sprinter.

122
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,720
Cav has to do both
over three and a half weeks.

123
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,040
[crowd cheering]

124
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,160
You've got 180 best bike riders
in the world.

125
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,800
Everything's at just another level.

126
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,840
[people cheering]

127
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,160
[man groans]

128
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,960
[commentator] There's been a fall.
Contador is down.

129
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,480
Contador, battered and bruised.

130
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,000
[Peta] The pressure's high.
Everyone's nervous. There's often crashes.

131
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,120
Everyone's going to go all guns blazing.

132
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Everyone wants that chance
at the yellow jersey.

133
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,960
[Mark] The yellow jersey is worn by
the leader of the race overall.

134
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,800
It was really quite rare
for a sprinter to be able to get it.

135
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,120
I hadn't worn the yellow jersey
at the Tour de France.

136
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,000
It's about the only thing I hadn't done.

137
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,640
This year's my chance, you know.

138
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,600
[commentator] Mark Cavendish
might have a problem here.

139
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,400
Fucking prick!

140
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Shake of the head
as that motorbike went past.

141
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,480
Looking for the team car
for a bike change.

142
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,800
Problems for Dimension Data.

143
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,480
Hoping to get Cavendish back
to the top of the podium

144
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,760
as a stage winner.

145
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,240
[Bernie] My job was always to keep Cav

146
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,200
in a safe spot in the peloton
through the whole race.

147
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,160
You have to protect him.

148
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,720
Shelter him from the wind.

149
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,320
Make sure there's nothing
that makes him crash.

150
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,400
Get him to the front,
drop him off at 180 meters to go.

151
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,840
The only thing he has to do is head down

152
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:41,360
and sprint
as fast as he can to the finish line.

153
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,919
[commentator] Going so fast.
They're over a kilometer to go now.

154
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,680
And then there was this big,
long straight finish slightly uphill.

155
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,440
But the speed we were doing
was phenomenal.

156
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:58,280
[commentator] Cav going towards
the sprint finish now, riding at 65 km/h.

157
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,400
There's a big crash just behind!

158
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,280
Spearing up through the center,

159
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000
it's Peter Sagan.
He wants a piece of today as well.

160
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,400
[Peta] Mark wasn't really anywhere.

161
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,600
And all you could hear in the commentary
was, "Kittel, Kittel, Peter Sagan."

162
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:18,760
[commentator]
Peter Sagan comes through the line!

163
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,600
Peter Sagan, the world champion!

164
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:22,880
I was coming,

165
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,920
and the line's coming,

166
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,560
felt Kittel on my left…

167
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,560
[commentator] Cavendish comes
from absolutely nowhere.

168
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,240
The Manx Missile!

169
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,600
Yes! He takes it!

170
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:42,560
He gets the yellow jersey! He nails it!

171
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,720
-Wow, Mark Cavendish! You beauty!
-[cheering]

172
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,920
I just remember us all screaming
and cheering and Frey bursting into tears

173
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,600
'cause we'd all screamed so loud

174
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,640
that it scared
the absolute life out of him.

175
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,640
-What a sprint.
-Well done, Cavendish!

176
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,800
Well done!

177
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Good on you, mate. Well done.

178
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,920
[announcer] Well, he's the center of the
world's attention again, Mark Cavendish.

179
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,600
Justifiably so.

180
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:25,160
[man in French] It's Mark Cavendish
putting the yellow jersey on.

181
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,880
[Peta in English] It's very rare
for the sprinters to wear it.

182
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,640
It isn't normally something that
Mark would get the opportunity to go for.

183
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,160
[man in French] Look how happy he is.

184
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,680
He's never worn this jersey,

185
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,200
and he's wearing it today.

186
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,760
[Mark in English] It was incredible.

187
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,680
This is the most iconic item
of clothing in sport.

188
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,200
I'd done everything else I could do,
I'd never worn one.

189
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,680
[cheers and applause]

190
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,640
[commentator] This victory moves Cavendish

191
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,600
one step closer to beating Eddy Merckx's
all-time record of stage wins.

192
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,840
[Peta] All of a sudden,
everybody starts with this narrative of,

193
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,760
"Is Mark going to break
Eddy Merckx's record?"

194
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,360
[commentator] Mark Cavendish
makes it win number 28.

195
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,120
-[indistinct chatter]
-I can't believe it!

196
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,960
[Bernie] The great Eddy Merckx,
I mean, he's just a legend.

197
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,760
Breaking the historic record
of Eddy Merckx

198
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,200
was somewhere in the clouds in our heads.

199
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,280
[commentator] Cavendish gets there!

200
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,080
Win number 29. He's closing in on Merckx.

201
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,480
The thing with Eddy Merckx's record,

202
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:40,680
I never started that. That wasn't me.

203
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,800
All of a sudden, it's all I'm going for.

204
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,200
[commentator]
Four stage wins this year.

205
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,760
Will Cavendish return in 2017

206
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,720
and claim that record?

207
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,040
Fuck.

208
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,720
[sighs] Like, people had always
only talked about Merckx.

209
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,200
Now I've got to beat Merckx.

210
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,680
For fuck's sake.

211
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,880
It doesn't matter who I beat.
I'll beat everyone.

212
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,480
[all yelling]

213
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:14,080
-[indistinct announcement on PA]
-[people cheering]

214
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,240
[Bernie] Good luck, man.

215
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,320
You going to time it,
or do you want me to?

216
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,240
[Bernie] Yeah.

217
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,800
[Mark] I always need
to be doing something

218
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,680
that keeps your hands busy, really.

219
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,640
I think my record is at 1 minute 20.

220
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,280
[groans]

221
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,520
If I don't get it under two minutes
then I'm usually upset.

222
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,640
Yeah, he's definitely obsessive
with many things.

223
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,600
Starting to get stressed now.

224
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,840
[Bernie] He needs control.

225
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,160
Like a nervous tick.

226
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,720
[Mark] Uh… There we go, stop.

227
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,600
To freak him out,
I would just leave a cupboard open.

228
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:07,280
Just leave it open.

229
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,840
Just wait 'til he explodes.

230
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,880
Everything was to perfection.
And that's how he worked.

231
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,080
That's how he became

232
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:17,920
the best sprinter in the world.

233
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:26,000
It can be definitely one of those aspects
that really brings you to the top.

234
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,400
But it also can break you.

235
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,040
'Cause it's a lot of pressure
that you build up to yourself.

236
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,240
The whole of the team was built around me.

237
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,640
You feel that pressure.

238
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,120
[cheers and applause]

239
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,640
[commentator] Even one stage victory
will take him so close

240
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,440
to Eddy Merckx's all-time record
in the Tour de France.

241
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,320
Mark's on 30. And Merckx is on 34.

242
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,480
-[air horn blaring]
-[people cheering]

243
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,440
[Mark] It's fucking noisy.

244
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,640
There's helicopters.

245
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:09,720
Motorbikes.

246
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,160
Crowds.

247
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,920
-There's riders shouting at each other.
-[riders shouting]

248
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,800
A wall of noise
and you have to try and focus.

249
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,600
[commentator] This is where
the drive has to come,

250
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,120
but where is Mark Cavendish?

251
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,920
He's about two or three riders
back at the moment.

252
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,760
Get him forward then sprint to the line.

253
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,160
[commentator] 400 meters to go.
There's Sagan, now pushing.

254
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,920
Cavendish trying to force
a gap on the right.

255
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,880
Oh, he hits a barrier!

256
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,600
[people shouting]

257
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,680
[high-pitched ringing]

258
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,080
That was a violent crash
for Mark Cavendish.

259
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,480
[indistinct chatter]

260
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,200
[commentator] And that looks deliberate.

261
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,200
[indistinct shouting]

262
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,800
In the bus, I see that injured athlete,

263
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,200
and I see the replay and I see how he…

264
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,520
he comes from behind
and I see that Mark would have won.

265
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,440
What would you put
someone into the barriers for?

266
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,720
Doing 70 km/h.

267
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,560
[Rolf] There was no other scenario

268
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,320
than him winning that stage
if he doesn't crash there.

269
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,600
[Mark] 100% I'd win that stage.

270
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:53,720
100%.

271
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,040
[Rolf] You immediately
get into this angry mode.

272
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,680
I posted the only tweet
I ever tweeted in my life, kind of like,

273
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,760
"Pure violence. Let's see what UCI
is going to do about it."

274
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,600
[indistinct chatter]

275
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,160
We decided to disqualify
Peter Sagan from Tour de France 2017

276
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,920
as he endangered
some of his colleagues seriously.

277
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,720
For sure I don't agree with them

278
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,200
because I think I didn't
do something wrong.

279
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,360
Mark, how are you feeling?

280
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,920
Peter Sagan's been disqualified
from the Tour, what's your reaction?

281
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,000
It's the first I've heard of it. Um…

282
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,320
I don't know.
The jury will do what they do, um…

283
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,480
I was a little bit confused
with the elbow, in a way.

284
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,920
That's something I'd like
to speak to him about anyway.

285
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:00,960
[man] Thanks, Mark.

286
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,560
[indistinct chatter]

287
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,240
[commentator] The Tour is now without
it's greatest ever sprinter,

288
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,960
and the world champion.

289
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,920
[Mark] Fucking raging.

290
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,880
I nearly lost my finger.

291
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,680
Got a hole in my shoulder blade.

292
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,640
[indoor cycle ticking]

293
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,520
[breathing heavily]

294
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,840
[Peta] Mark wasn't good.

295
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,560
He was really struggling
with the crash in particular.

296
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,040
[Mark] I felt like
I had jet lag, you know.

297
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,080
Tired. Just all the time tired.

298
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,680
He would sit down
and be asleep in a second.

299
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,440
He would walk to the top of the stairs
and would fall asleep.

300
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:02,080
I said to…

301
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,840
doctor, "Sorry, something's not right."

302
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,880
"I need to get a blood test this week."

303
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,360
[Peta] And we got a text message
from the team doctor,

304
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,600
"Cav, you've got Epstein-Barr."

305
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,760
I was like, "What's Epstein-Barr?"

306
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Turns out it's quite common
in endurance athletes.

307
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,080
It can tip very easily
into chronic fatigue.

308
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,200
Irreversible chronic fatigue.

309
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,800
There's no medicine
that can make it better.

310
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,880
Only rest.

311
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,120
It could wipe out half a season.

312
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,520
I had about six weeks off the bike.

313
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,360
But I wanted to race.

314
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,440
-[helicopter hovering]
-[people cheering]

315
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,080
[intense music playing]

316
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,480
[Rolf] Was he ready for Sanremo?

317
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,480
Even if he wasn't in great shape,

318
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,800
he could still pull something off
just out of his talent.

319
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,560
[Peta] I'm at home
with the kids, watching.

320
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,280
50K to go, still there.

321
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,960
20K to go, still there.

322
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,360
And I'm thinking,
"He could maybe do this."

323
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,360
[commentator 1] Mark Cavendish giving
himself a very good opportunity here.

324
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,640
-We've got a crash!
-[commentator 2] Whoa!

325
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,360
[commentator 1] Dimension Data rider
down there on the right-hand side.

326
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,960
It's Mark Cavendish down at the back.

327
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,240
[commentator 2]
He hit the yellow bollard.

328
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,200
[indistinct chatter]

329
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,320
[Peta] The kids are like,
"Is he all right?"

330
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,640
So I took them into the other room,

331
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,040
and when I came back
he was still on the floor.

332
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,720
[commentator 1] Here it is on
the right-hand side, Mark Cavendish.

333
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,200
-[commentator 2] Oh, my God.
-Oh, no! Oh, no!

334
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,640
[commentator 2] That's horrible.

335
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,760
[commentator 1] And that is something
we do not need to see.

336
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,840
-[commentator 2] God. Yeah.
-[commentator 1] We hope he's okay.

337
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,560
I'd seen enough crashes with Mark
to know that that was a long time

338
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,440
that he hadn't got up.

339
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,080
He sounded scared,

340
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,920
and he said, "Girl, I can't feel my legs."

341
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:29,360
Yeah, it's terrifying.

342
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,760
Man, it's terrifying.

343
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,280
My heel was fucked.

344
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,320
My knee was fucked.

345
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,760
My hip was fucked.

346
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:38,760
Like, I couldn't walk.

347
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,840
The crash was odd because,

348
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,960
I mean, Mark did do Sanremo
so many times before.

349
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,440
He knows he has to take that roundabout.

350
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,680
It didn't make any sense to me.

351
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,560
I just couldn't make sense
of how he'd hit a traffic island.

352
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,560
[Lance] Mark Cavendish
had another major crash.

353
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,040
It's kinda indescribable
the way he hit that barrier

354
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:08,760
and literally launched.

355
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,880
Like he was in the fucking Olympics.

356
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,360
I gave it a ten.

357
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,040
-[chuckles]
-I gave it a ten.

358
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:19,520
[Rolf] The media picks up.

359
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,160
Suddenly he was too old

360
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,120
and his reaction time wouldn't be
good enough anymore,

361
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,560
and he should probably stop.

362
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,360
[interviewer] Do you start
to get a reputation

363
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,440
as a guy that goes down,
to stay away from?

364
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,880
[man] Yeah, absolutely.

365
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,440
"Don't ride behind that guy." [chuckles]

366
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,080
It was like, "Shut the fuck up."

367
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,480
"You don't know what you're on about."

368
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,880
Ten years before,
people were saying I was finished.

369
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,000
Ten years.

370
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,880
[pensive music playing]

371
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,560
The media and him both treated each other

372
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,480
with an equal level of contempt.

373
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,520
He felt like they were trying
to trip him up all the time.

374
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,840
[reporter] Was it your fault, Mark?

375
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,800
-Was what my fault?
-[reporter] The crash.

376
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,880
Why are you taking my tape recorder?

377
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,640
What was my fault, that I lost the sprint?

378
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:14,840
Yeah, it was my fault.

379
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,240
He never had any media training.

380
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,240
[reporter] Can you be certain you're
in good enough shape for the Tour?

381
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,120
Can you tell me 100% that one of these
journalists isn't fucking your wife?

382
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,680
Could be forgiven for thinking that
maybe he was a bit of a dick.

383
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,280
Oh! Ally! Can you get him away please?

384
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:37,240
Fuck off.

385
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,760
We are here.

386
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,000
[Mark] I feel I've got a right
to have a chip on my shoulder.

387
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,800
It's fucking horrible.

388
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,800
I use that to win whatever I can win.

389
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,480
I'd had this thing since I was young
that I wanted to be world champion.

390
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,640
[commentator] Who will win
the Championship of 2011?

391
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,800
Cavendish has to deliver.

392
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,200
[Mark] Put all your chips in the center.

393
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,440
That's how I do it.

394
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,040
Either win or fucking don't win.

395
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,160
[commentator] Cavendish on one side
of the road, Greipel on the other.

396
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,840
And Cavendish,
is he going to get there on the throne?

397
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:27,880
What a finish!

398
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,320
Mark Cavendish is the World
Road Race Champion!

399
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,280
What a perfect result!

400
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,760
[cheering]

401
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,640
[Mark] I did it.

402
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,040
World Champion.

403
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,240
I always feel that I have to fight.

404
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,720
Of course, I'm still having
to prove myself,

405
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,560
having to fight.

406
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,360
Casper was born that May.

407
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,520
And, uh, that was super nice.

408
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,640
[Peta] He's always had to leave quite soon
after we've had the babies.

409
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,440
And I remember sitting in the kitchen
with Casper, and him leaving.

410
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,720
And Casper was,
I don't know, a few days old.

411
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,760
A week old, maybe.
And I remember crying when he left.

412
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:47,440
Three days after Casper was born,
I left to go.

413
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,560
I was on my own then
until the Tour de France.

414
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:55,840
I train more.

415
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,280
I get more tired.

416
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,400
I'm not improving at all.
My numbers aren't getting better.

417
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,560
So the way to compensate that
is to get lighter.

418
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,680
[Peta] I've seen him skinny
a couple of times, you know.

419
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,680
But this was a little bit different.

420
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,840
I started eating less and less,
like, I wasn't…

421
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,160
I didn't eat anything.

422
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,880
I stopped eating. [chuckles]

423
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,160
The addictive part was, it was the…

424
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,720
the losing weight, I could see, rapidly,
how quickly I was losing weight.

425
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,720
[breathing heavily]

426
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,400
And it was the first improvement I'd seen

427
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,640
in anything, for a long time.

428
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,080
One day, I went for dinner with a friend.

429
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,440
I didn't eat that much, but I, like…

430
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:00,240
You know when you…

431
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:02,440
You're like… Oh!

432
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,040
And then you get a bit of saliva
and that in your mouth,

433
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:08,040
like a bit wet feeling,
and then you know the only way

434
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,440
is to just make yourself sick.

435
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,680
It was… It…

436
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,120
[breathing heavily]

437
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,800
-[horn honking]
-[people cheering]

438
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,680
[Lance] We get a lot of questions
from listeners

439
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,760
and viewers about Mark Cavendish.

440
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,000
His form's totally questionable.

441
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Cavendish is just coming
off this bout with…

442
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,800
with Epstein-Barr, chronic fatigue,

443
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,280
and we're talking about him
trying to break Eddy's record,

444
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:54,480
which isn't going to happen.

445
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,560
[Bernie] Team management, media,

446
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,240
riders, teammates,

447
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,240
everyone was like,
"Okay, is he doing enough?"

448
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,800
"Is he still hungry enough?"

449
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,360
[indistinct chatter]

450
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,880
[man] The pressure
on this race is immense,

451
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,680
and having all the sponsors
and the partners around

452
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,680
comes with big responsibilities.

453
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,400
Everybody wants you to be successful.

454
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,880
[Mark] The sponsors want a return
on their investment.

455
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,960
And there's 70 people whose jobs
rely on that, you know?

456
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,760
We're trying to go
to 34 stages with Mark Cavendish,

457
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,280
and beat Eddy Merckx's record.

458
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:46,000
[people cheering]

459
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,520
We had a one-leader strategy
and you base everything on Mark.

460
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,320
[commentator] They fully believe
the Manx Missile

461
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,200
can get stage win number 31.

462
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,680
Things weren't great,
but I put the work in.

463
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,440
Things had to come good
from putting the work in, you know.

464
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,680
Fucking move!

465
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,120
No. Go, go, go!

466
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,640
[man in Italian] Close the gap!

467
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:18,680
[Peta yelling]

468
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,040
[man in Italian]
What the fuck is he doing?

469
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:22,040
[in English] Kick!

470
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:25,920
-[indistinct commentary]
-[indistinct chatter]

471
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,320
[Peta] He's out. He's gone.

472
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,000
[indistinct chatter]

473
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,120
[commentator] Mark Cavendish just doesn't
have the legs at the moment.

474
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,600
His legs aren't doing
what they used to do.

475
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,360
-[Lance] Cav flinched.
-[man] Mmm-hmm.

476
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,080
Mark Cavendish seven years ago
never would have.

477
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,160
He would have been like,
"I'm running through the brick wall."

478
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,760
He didn't care, but he does now.

479
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,160
I don't know what's wrong with it. Fuck!

480
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,400
No, don't move it.

481
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,880
[Lance] It was like he was spooked.

482
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,080
I think his time has come and gone.

483
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,400
And I love Mark Cavendish,
he's a good bud.

484
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,120
He doesn't have the head
or the mentality for it.

485
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,920
[Doug] This is our worst season
we've ever had.

486
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,560
And we've only won five races this year.

487
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,640
This time last year we'd won 20 by now.

488
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,120
At the moment, we're a sinking ship.

489
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,480
Even myself, I said, "Cav, we still know
you're one of the quickest guys there,

490
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,720
but with the form,
with the shape you're in at the moment,

491
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,680
we can't get you to the finish line."

492
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,920
[indistinct chatter]

493
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,400
[Mark] We were called
to a meeting that night.

494
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,400
Doug starts off with,

495
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,480
"I'm getting it
in the neck from the sponsors."

496
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,680
"We're not anywhere near it,
and this isn't good enough."

497
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,680
And I'm like,
"Doug, all the stuff you're saying,

498
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,680
you're the one that signed the contract."

499
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,800
"Don't put that on us."

500
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,680
"We're doing our best."

501
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,720
And he didn't like me saying that.

502
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,560
And he stormed off the bus.

503
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,000
You called the fucking meeting.

504
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,320
Uh, arguments…

505
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,800
It definitely became toxic there.

506
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,200
-[helicopter hovering]
-[people cheering]

507
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,320
[commentator] It might be short,
but it's brutal.

508
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,760
And it is littered with huge climbs.

509
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,800
Fear for the sprinters
just trying to survive.

510
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,240
[Bernie] Cav is a sprinter.

511
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,920
He hates climbing.

512
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,360
We got to the mountains.
I suffered every day.

513
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,400
Had no power.

514
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,360
[commentator] There he is, Mark Cavendish,
at the back of the race.

515
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,840
And under real threat
of elimination today.

516
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,880
[Bernie] Every stage has a time cut.

517
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,240
And missing the time cut,

518
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,880
I think that was for Cav
always the biggest fear.

519
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,600
This would put him out of the Tour.

520
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,440
[Mark panting]

521
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,640
And I'd never been eliminated
from the Tour de France in my career.

522
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,200
Never had I been out of time.

523
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,760
[indistinct commentary on TV]

524
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,600
[Mark] I'd given everything to be there.

525
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,680
I'd just left my three-day-old boy.

526
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,480
[Peta] I knew what he'd sacrificed.

527
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,520
I knew that both of us cried
when he left that day.

528
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,680
Any rider coming across the finish line
now is outside the official time cut-off.

529
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,400
And Mark Cavendish is still on the road.

530
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,200
I never just stopped, you know,

531
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,480
and I wasn't about to.

532
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,480
I just wanted to finish.

533
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,440
[indistinct announcement]

534
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,240
[commentator] Mark Cavendish
is showing his courage,

535
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,360
and his class, by pushing on.

536
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,080
-[indistinct Italian commentary]
-[people cheering]

537
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,360
[man 1] Cav just came across
the line an hour back.

538
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,720
-[man 2] Come on. Oof.
-Yeah, that's rough.

539
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,120
-Sad to see. Wish him the best.
-[man 2] He is a sweetheart, but…

540
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,840
[indistinct chatter]

541
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,040
When the fucking chips are down…

542
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,320
[man] Would you call this rock bottom?

543
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,320
Yeah.

544
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:06,840
Think so.

545
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,080
[chuckles] Oh, fuck.

546
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,360
[Rolf] If you think rationally,

547
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,880
you think that the human body
starts to decrease in performance

548
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,360
at the age of what, 30, 35?

549
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,040
Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's time.

550
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,440
[Bernie] What it hurt him
the most to fail, myself too, is like…

551
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,400
every stage win, tough ones,

552
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,800
great stages he'd won, were forgotten.

553
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,880
[Mark] It was a special day.

554
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:54,800
I've got goosebumps now, you know.

555
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,400
I had fire in my eyes that day. Fire.

556
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,280
[people cheering]

557
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,800
[commentator] Bradley Wiggins, winner
of the Tour de France is going to lead

558
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,960
onto the final turn of the Champs-Élysées.

559
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,680
It doesn't get better than this.

560
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,760
[Mark] I mean, Bradley Wiggins,

561
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,320
we were like brothers.

562
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,480
Probably the strongest rider
in the world there.

563
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,120
Strongest sprinter in the world there.
Both British.

564
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,880
Pretty fucking cool.

565
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:33,000
Just go and conquer the world, like.

566
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,760
[commentator] One kilometer to go.

567
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:39,960
[Mark] We were going to finish off
in Paris in style.

568
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,520
[commentator] What a team effort!

569
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,560
Perfect delivery from Cavendish
and this is where he'll light it up!

570
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,160
He practically owns the place.

571
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:48,280
Look at the gap!

572
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,040
Nobody's going to catch this man.

573
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,800
Four wins in the last four years!
Right here!

574
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,760
[Mark] It was an incredible day.

575
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,760
I'm getting led out by Bradley

576
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,040
in the British team.

577
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,360
And I'd won the Tour de France.

578
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,560
That was the best day of my career.

579
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,160
Without a doubt.

580
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,720
[pensive music playing]

581
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,000
How can I do everything?

582
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,600
Train harder. Not eat.

583
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,400
Be on my own in bootcamp mode.

584
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,600
It'd just be so bad.

585
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,600
He was quite desperate,
I think, by that point.

586
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,840
He was quite short with me
because I didn't understand.

587
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:15,200
You don't go
from being the best in the world

588
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,160
to really not even capable of…

589
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,440
How? How? How has it happened?

590
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,600
[Peta] We argued about nothing.

591
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,680
We were so…

592
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640
lost in the middle of everything
that was going on.

593
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,560
[Mark] Like, I was a nightmare
to live with, but…

594
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,560
Peta could have eased that stuff,
do you know what I mean?

595
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:47,720
Like, she could have.

596
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,160
[Peta] He was…

597
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,240
not really him at that particular moment.

598
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,960
[Mark] Was I going fucking crazy?

599
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,960
What the fuck was wrong with me?

600
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,160
So I called my old team doctor.

601
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,840
In the past when something went wrong,

602
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,560
he was very angry
and he wanted to get it right.

603
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,080
But in this moment, he was hurt.

604
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,120
He was suffering.

605
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,680
And to see Mark suffering
is something very unique.

606
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,360
[Mark] I had gastro exams.

607
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,640
I had psychological assessments.

608
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:41,160
I had neurological tests. Reaction tests.

609
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,160
Blood tests.

610
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,040
[Dr. Helge] The blood results showed that
there was an active infection in his body.

611
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,880
We call it Epstein-Barr virus.

612
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,560
So, for Mark, it's a disaster.

613
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,400
It was still there.

614
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,760
[labored breathing]

615
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,640
He said, "You shouldn't have been racing."

616
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:04,280
"You should have
stopped there immediately."

617
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,760
If you continue to race with Epstein-Barr
or any other infection,

618
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,880
you always go deeper and deeper,
so you can't recover anymore

619
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,200
and even to ride a race
like the Tour de France, it's impossible.

620
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,200
The psychological testing results
were very low.

621
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,400
Yeah, I was told
I had clinical depression.

622
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,720
[Dr. Helge] Close to the situation
where I would say,

623
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,160
"This patient has to stay in a hospital."

624
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,520
I hadn't thought I had…

625
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,960
any sort of mental health disorder.

626
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,480
It was difficult because…

627
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,840
Mark had not really been anybody

628
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,640
that had bought into
the idea of depression.

629
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:00,960
Mark was very much like,

630
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,000
"Well, you would just decide that
you'd be stronger than that."

631
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,120
Or, you know, like, sort yourself out.

632
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:17,080
[Dr. Helge] I wasn't sure if he would
get out of the depression

633
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,920
without quitting cycling.

634
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,400
To recommend to stop cycling
and leave all the pressure away

635
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,120
and start a different life.

636
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,760
[Peta] When things aren't good with Mark,
he completely shuts down.

637
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,480
Helge was someone that
I could definitely confide in.

638
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,240
Helge said, "Please just try and hold on."

639
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,720
"Like, try and hold on
because he is there still,

640
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,480
underneath, kind of, this."

641
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,520
"You just have to try and hold on."

642
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,400
"He doesn't mean
a lot of the things that he's saying."

643
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,680
"I know that doesn't make it
any easier for you."

644
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:58,600
"But…

645
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,400
we just have to hope that when
we come through the other side of this,

646
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,200
the person that you do recognize
is still there."

647
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,680
[train chugging slowly]

648
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,440
Welcome to South Africa
for those who've not been here before,

649
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,400
and welcome to the team building
and planning camp for 2019.

650
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,800
We've got an Aussie here at the moment,
so David, do you want to come on up?

651
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,440
So this is a bit of a coup for us

652
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:41,240
because often sports psychology
and athlete welfare is kind of overlooked.

653
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,960
So it's a real luxury to have David
here for this week to work with you guys.

654
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,840
Usually the only time people call me

655
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,600
is when the excrement hits
the oscillation device, as they say.

656
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,960
We'd met at a team training camp
in Cape Town.

657
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,040
[inaudible]

658
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,920
They'd had a really terrible year in 2018.

659
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,880
And they were looking for some type
of performance enhancement.

660
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,320
So we had a strategy this year
that was "Better together."

661
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,200
I was thinking about "Onwards and upwards"

662
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,760
and some people advised me to say,

663
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,840
"Fuck that,
we're fighting for our future."

664
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:28,360
The head coach at the time
was very, very critical of Cav.

665
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,920
Cav wasn't displaying
the behaviors of a marquee rider.

666
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,280
You could see that he wasn't in shape.

667
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,400
We have a program that all cyclists use

668
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,240
that showed he was underperforming.

669
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,960
Do we really keep him? Do we not keep him?

670
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,560
I mean, what is the way out of this?

671
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,400
[David] He hadn't been doing the training.

672
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,880
There's mistruths
when it comes to his training.

673
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,160
Also with his eating. Um…

674
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,520
So all that stuff just didn't add up.

675
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,600
[Rolf] Team management thought, "Okay,
it's an older rider who had a great career

676
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,080
that we used pretty well in
the first years to attract sponsors,

677
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,320
but now he's old, he's not fast."

678
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,200
How much are we paying this person?

679
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,560
And what is he actually doing?
Is he on a holiday?

680
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,960
He's just, you know…

681
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:33,880
Is he taking the piss?

682
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,560
At the start of the season,
he's underperforming

683
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,440
more than what we thought he would.

684
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,240
[commentator] Many have been asking
about the whereabouts of Mark Cavendish.

685
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,240
Not in any of the two
or three front groups we've seen today.

686
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,920
Mark Cavendish has been dropped.

687
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,560
Rolf called me and said,
"Cav's done, he's finished."

688
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,600
"He's telling everyone that, you know…"

689
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,360
"He's handshaking people
and saying he's finished."

690
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,400
"Last time you'll see him."

691
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,880
If you always try to live
in this world of glory and fame

692
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,520
and being untouchable, and, uh…

693
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:28,040
on top of the game,

694
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,480
I think that really makes things
super difficult on the human level.

695
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,760
I had a lot of talks with Peta there

696
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,640
over the period of time.

697
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,120
Because that is what, ultimately,
also saves Mark all the time.

698
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,800
You know, falling back
to the place where the family is.

699
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,640
[Peta] It was completely irrational
how cross he would be about something

700
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:54,640
or how upset something would make him.

701
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,480
I didn't know this version of him at all.

702
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,800
But I was sleeping in the same bed as him.

703
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,720
I was cooking for him, cleaning for him,

704
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,280
trying to make sure he was okay.
Trying to fix him.

705
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,560
It would be like, "Well, if you hadn't
have let me be on my own all that time,

706
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,600
maybe we wouldn't be here."

707
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,480
And then the house was just too loud,
so he couldn't be in the house.

708
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,360
We'd have to not stay in the house.

709
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,480
I didn't have anything,
didn't want anything, didn't…

710
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,040
do anything, didn't feel anything.

711
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:38,120
Just…

712
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,440
You're just fucking empty, like, you know.

713
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,160
[breathing heavily]

714
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:46,560
The sense of worthlessness.

715
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,400
And I was scared
that I was going to go past my limit

716
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,280
and not be able to come back again.

717
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,520
I would then ring Helge and be like,

718
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,360
"I don't know where he's gone,
I don't know what to do."

719
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,720
[Rolf] And everyone realized that
something was really, really bad with him.

720
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,960
I'd lost any get up that I'd ever had.

721
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,840
Just to be a person, to be a dad.

722
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,720
To be a friend, a husband, like…

723
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,080
[Dr. Helge] I think there's a high risk
that you harm yourself,

724
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,200
or even that you commit suicide.

725
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,560
[Dr. Helge] Mark and I made a deal.

726
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,840
I said, "Before you do something
to yourself…

727
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,200
call me."

728
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,680
[thunder rumbling]

729
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,440
[pensive music playing]

730
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,000
Walking through
the small Isle of Man airport,

731
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,280
and looking around for Mark Cavendish,

732
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,480
and there was this lovely, lovely lady
who said, "Are you David?"

733
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,560
"Mmm. Yes." And it was Mark's mom.

734
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:36,640
And I actually said, "Where's Mark?"

735
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,680
I'd never really been
a fan of sports psychologists.

736
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,160
I always feel judged by a psychologist.

737
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,640
Should I not cross my arms
in front of you?

738
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:54,480
What do you do with your hands?

739
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,280
You know, they're reading me.

740
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,400
[David] I get to the front door,

741
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,640
and I hear, [imitating Mark]
"Sorry, Mom, I'm in the toilet!"

742
00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:07,040
[in normal voice] And, yeah,
Cav was evacuating his stomach contents

743
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,800
because he'd…
slightly hungover. [chuckles]

744
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,480
More than slightly.

745
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,520
I thought it was a waste of time doing it.

746
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,440
It's like, "Okay, what have I actually
walked into here?"

747
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:22,360
I just thought,

748
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,520
"Doesn't work for me," you know?

749
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,840
I was making sure
that the situation wasn't acute enough

750
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,720
to have to call someone
to put him in the hospital.

751
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,960
Because you were worried
he was going to harm himself?

752
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,160
Yeah, yeah.

753
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:42,400
So, yeah.

754
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,600
Peta, she was extremely concerned
for her husband.

755
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,440
"Is my life worth it anymore?"
"This is not worth it."

756
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,160
[interviewer] Did you have any
comprehension of how worried Peta, Rolf,

757
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:03,640
everybody was about you?

758
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,280
No, not at all.

759
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:10,640
No.

760
00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:15,400
I was too consumed in self-pity
to care about what anyone…

761
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,000
cared about me.

762
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,560
[David] Needed some time with friends.

763
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,520
They just knew Cav as Cav.

764
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,960
Didn't care where the performance was.
It was just him.

765
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,120
And, uh, yeah, love him for him.

766
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,880
[Peter Kennaugh] I've known Cav
pretty much my whole life.

767
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:44,360
He used to come round my house in Onchan
and babysit me for the day.

768
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,920
And he'd take me to the park.

769
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,600
And we'd all go off on our bikes.

770
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,360
[chuckles] Pete's loose as fuck, like…

771
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:52,960
And…

772
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,040
a good guy, like, I love him.

773
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,480
I've loved him since he was a kid.

774
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,160
He's a really hard
personality and character

775
00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:09,240
to understand and get your head around.

776
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,000
He always holds his cards
close to his chest

777
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,200
in terms of how he's feeling
and who he is.

778
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,200
So, he seemed fine,
but then I probably seemed fine,

779
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,520
you know, for large parts of my life
when I haven't been, so…

780
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,280
Cav's identity is winning bike races.

781
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,800
It's who he is. It's what gets him
out of bed in the morning.

782
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,240
What does life look like without it,
do you know what I mean?

783
00:50:46,240 --> 00:50:50,200
[David] His happy place
has always been on his bike, by himself.

784
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:56,320
I rode a scooter beside him
every day for ten days. Um…

785
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,000
And I refused to speak
until he spoke to me first.

786
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,600
We'd talk about
some eating issues in the past

787
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,080
and some pressures to perform.

788
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,040
What is it
that's out of control in his life

789
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,840
that he's trying to control with eating?

790
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,040
[Peter] He is a perfectionist,

791
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,280
and he likes
a certain way of doing things.

792
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,520
A lot of people would be happy
with who they are as a person

793
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:33,240
and don't feel the need to prove
people wrong, do you know what I mean?

794
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,120
Where does that come from?

795
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:41,680
And we stopped at this little field.

796
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,320
He's like, "Do you know what this is?"
I'm like, "No."

797
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,560
He's like, "This is where
I first started racing a bike."

798
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,760
[children laughing]

799
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,680
He said, "My dad used to take me here,
and I'd race my bike."

800
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,800
He said, "This is where it started."

801
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,000
And I knew. It was like, "I've got you."

802
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,680
-[woman speaking indistinctly]
-[kid crying]

803
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,720
[Mark] My mom is really emotional.

804
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,480
Everything is clouded
by emotion. Everything.

805
00:52:19,240 --> 00:52:21,000
My dad's very logical.

806
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,000
Both of them are more extreme than I am.

807
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,520
Then they got divorced and that.

808
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:30,720
I was about ten.

809
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,800
Yeah, it wasn't easy at all.

810
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,840
About that time that they split up,

811
00:52:43,720 --> 00:52:45,120
I started cycling.

812
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:51,800
He came back to young Cav,
the eight-year-old kid

813
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,600
that rode his bike
because it got him away from things.

814
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,600
[inaudible]

815
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,760
Right now, we come to the really fast man.

816
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:01,720
And he's Mark Cavendish.

817
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,680
Mark, how do you think your form's going?

818
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,000
-Okay.
-Okay.

819
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:07,800
How are you going tonight?

820
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,840
Okay. I did better than I thought I would.

821
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,640
-Did you win, or were you second?
-No, I was about that far.

822
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,640
I could ride a bike
pretty quick, you know.

823
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,360
Mark is going
to the Scottish Provident Challenge '96.

824
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,040
[Mark] Even when I was a kid,
I had to be the best at stuff.

825
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:30,000
That is, if you're good at something,
you want to be even better.

826
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,240
And then, when you're better at something,

827
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,840
you get even better at it.

828
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:35,640
[cheers and applause]

829
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,080
It snowballs, doesn't it?

830
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,400
I was just loving being out.

831
00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:59,720
There was no structure to the training,
but there was a purpose to it.

832
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:00,800
You know?

833
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,400
[David] He found that

834
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,200
his joy wasn't in racing his bike.

835
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,640
His joy was in being, just cycling.

836
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:15,400
And that bike is…

837
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:17,600
Was a sense of freedom.

838
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,160
[birds squawking]

839
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,760
He was really angry with management,

840
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,920
and he goes,
"Hey, Siri, who is Doug Ryder?"

841
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,400
And Siri would return,
"I don't know who that is."

842
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,720
And he'd laugh. He'd think that's amazing.

843
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:45,000
And then after that he'd go,
"Hey, Siri, who's Mark Cavendish?"

844
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,800
[indistinct chatter]

845
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,920
[Doug] We wanted to have these sessions
so you guys can understand each other.

846
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:00,480
And learn from each other

847
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,360
because there's younger riders that
haven't been in the classics a long time.

848
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,480
It is all about the best connected team

849
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,280
in every which way possible.

850
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:13,880
[Rolf] Mark came back to the team,

851
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,880
and it was clear that
this is now a new fresh start.

852
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,560
You know what,
why don't we go full steam ahead,

853
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,680
I'll come back
to Tour de France, and, uh…

854
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:38,680
and win.

855
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,400
[Rolf] So let's get him
back into sprinting.

856
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,440
Let's, you know, get him back
to focus on what he's good at.

857
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,560
So, Dimension Data, they had a policy

858
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:57,600
of not selecting their Tour de France team
until very late.

859
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,960
We went down the list
of who should and shouldn't go.

860
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,200
[Rolf] That was clearly dividing the team

861
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:12,200
into Mark supporters
and Mark non-supporters.

862
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,160
[David] That phone call went on for,
I think, three hours or so.

863
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,160
It's still, to this day,

864
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:24,640
one of the weirdest performance calls
I've ever been associated with.

865
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,640
It was between Mark Cavendish
to go to the Tour de France

866
00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:37,120
and another bike rider.

867
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,400
[inaudible]

868
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,880
Our best chance is Mark Cavendish,

869
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,640
and people like it or don't,
but it's our best chance.

870
00:56:43,720 --> 00:56:45,960
And you can argue
whatever you want to argue,

871
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:47,480
it remains our best chance.

872
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,600
Don't tell me he's too old
because he's not.

873
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,680
Don't tell me his talent is gone
because talent does not go.

874
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:08,360
Doug Ryder was quite vocal
in what he thought they should do.

875
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,480
[Mark] So I'm up
on this mountain, and, uh…

876
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,480
and my phone starts going. [chuckling]

877
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,200
"What do you mean I've not
been selected for the Tour de France?"

878
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:25,800
Fucking distraught, man.

879
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:27,720
I was angry.

880
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,960
I'd never missed a Tour de France.

881
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,160
I called eight names,

882
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,240
and Mark was included,

883
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:39,000
and then, of course, the team owner
has the right to overrule me,

884
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:39,960
which he did.

885
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,200
[reporter] There's been some suggestions
of tension in the team,

886
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:44,960
and there has been a resignation.

887
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,880
Look, this was a team decision in the end.

888
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,240
I'm not the only person that
makes a decision on the selection.

889
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,240
[Rolf] So I think that was the end point

890
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,520
for Mark at Dimension Data,
and for myself as well.

891
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,720
[Mark] Then lockdown happened.

892
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,880
Three or four…

893
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,080
Really good. Thank you so much.

894
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,800
We were at home all together

895
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:27,080
and we had the longest period of time
we'd ever spent in one block together,

896
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,640
which was ten weeks,
which doesn't really sound that much.

897
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,440
It's the most time I've ever spent
with Peta, let alone with the kids.

898
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,360
I built a little indoor trainer

899
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,280
and put a kids' bike on it
for Casper to ride it with me.

900
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,560
It felt like we could
breathe again a little bit.

Like, this, now.

913
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,440
Just to be home was, like,
so different than what I'd ever had.

914
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:31,600
And I loved it.

915
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:33,640
I really did.

916
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,280
[man] Mark Cavendish signs
for new team, Bahrain McLaren.

917
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,080
Hopes are high
for a change in his fortunes.

918
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,360
[Mark] McLaren were coming into cycling.

919
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,680
The most exciting project in cycling
for years and years and years.

920
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,760
First race back since lockdown.

921
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:13,400
I couldn't sprint.

922
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:16,920
Even the biggest dreamers

923
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:22,960
lost the hope that he's going to be
the Mark Cavendish from before ever again.

924
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:28,640
It's been 16 years I've done this.
I know how to sprint.

925
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,280
I just can't sprint. I can't do it.

926
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,680
Everybody was questioning,
"Why is he still doing it?"

927
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,800
"Why is he still racing?"
"Why is he continuing?"

928
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,880
[indistinct chatter]

929
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,920
He's not there anymore.
He's never going to win a bike race.

930
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:51,040
[commentator] Well, there's Mark Cavendish
taking off his race number,

931
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:54,600
number 21, from his bike
and placed it in his back pocket.

932
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,360
What significance is there in that?

933
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:09,760
[sniffles]

934
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,120
[interviewer]
I see you're getting emotional.

935
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,640
It's perhaps the last race
in my career now.

936
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:20,560
So I'm a little bit…

937
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,880
[interviewer] Do you really think
this is your last race?

938
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,040
Maybe, yeah.

939
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,280
[Peta] Suddenly my phone
was "Ding, ding, ding, ding."

940
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:36,680
And I thought, "Oh, my God."

941
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,560
Just, like, a million people had sent

942
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,720
obviously this bloody clip
of Mark crying.

943
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,920
I loved always Mark,
and my heart was breaking.

944
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,080
So I could not see it,

945
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:55,760
and I called him.

946
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,440
[Mark] Patrick Lefevere,
my old boss at Quick-Step,

947
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:02,920
asked me to send my CV.

948
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,160
My list of 160 race wins.

949
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:09,560
If somebody's in the shit,

950
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,440
and you raise the hands to help,

951
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,080
it's nothing to do
with a smart businessman.

952
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:18,360
It's more sentimental.

953
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,240
He said to me, "Yeah,

954
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,200
I've got one spot left,
but I don't have any budget."

955
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,200
So I asked him,
"Okay, what if I found a sponsor?"

956
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:34,040
I took him with my heart,
and he came with empty hands.

957
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,560
And everybody declared me crazy
to take him.

958
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,400
You cannot explain everything in life.

959
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,040
Why you fall in love with one lady
and not with the other?

960
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,360
I was assigned to a new coach.

961
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:50,720
Vasi.

962
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,880
So, can I say that he had
the reputation of being an asshole?

963
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,400
Or gonna cut? [chuckles]

964
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:58,920
[interviewer] No, that's great.

965
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:00,360
-Is it allowed, yeah?
-Yeah.

966
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,400
[Vasilis] He was a guy who was shouting,
he didn't show respect to the other guys.

967
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:10,480
Not even to his opponents,
but also to his own teammates.

968
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,040
He was shouting
if something was not going right.

969
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,600
Yeah, I was like…
Everybody was like, [sighs]

970
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,440
"Mark Cavendish is coming."

971
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,480
"That's going to be a pain in the ass."

972
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,800
Yeah. That was the first thought.

973
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:28,720
A pain in the ass.

974
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,400
Fuck, he was so direct
with what he said straight away.

975
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,720
[Vasilis] I would tell him directly,
"Mark, today was a shit day."

976
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,840
"You were shit. You're not good enough."

977
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,440
"So you have to try harder."

978
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,040
I fucking liked this guy, you know.

979
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:55,400
[Vasilis] Top coaches were saying
that he's never going to win again.

980
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:58,400
Let's do it.

981
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:01,840
Let's prove them wrong.

982
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,360
Mark Cavendish
was third choice as sprinter.

983
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,640
I'd be the bottom of the ladder.

984
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:14,960
But also that meant

985
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,400
I didn't have the weight of the team
resting on my shoulders, you know.

986
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:23,920
Vasi said, "Come to Greece…

987
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,040
and do a bootcamp."

988
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,960
[Vasilis] We did some long rides
and the climbs around Athens.

989
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,520
It's the climbs
that used to be my training rides.

990
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:38,560
He's passionate.

991
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,280
He lives every pedal rev with you.

992
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,840
[Vasilis] Mark had Epstein-Barr.

993
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,160
Training was really hard,
but he was responding.

994
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,800
My wife cooked for him
some special Greek food.

995
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,080
He was playing with my kids.

996
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,920
That was really, really special.

997
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,640
[Mark] He's just hyper-emotional,

998
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,680
like, super-melodramatic, you know?

999
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,480
He's brilliant. He just wears…

1000
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,040
He doesn't even wear his heart
on his sleeve, he'd, like…

1001
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:10,600
He just holds it out in front of him.

1002
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,320
[Vasilis] Everything was better.

1003
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:17,560
His numbers were there,

1004
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,000
he was sprinting faster than before,
he was, uh,

1005
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,280
climbing faster than before.

1006
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,400
[upbeat music playing]

1007
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:30,280
He was like a 20-year guy who's hungry
for his first win of his life.

1008
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,440
I'd push harder and harder and harder.

1009
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,600
But, fuck me, I was going good, you know.

1010
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,120
[Vasilis] He was like Rocky Balboa.

1011
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,920
Rocky Balboa training to beat Drago.

1012
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,920
He was lying completely dead,

1013
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,640
down on the floor, he was vomiting.

1014
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:53,720
He told me, "Vasi, I hate you."

1015
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:55,840
I said, "Thanks, thanks a lot."

1016
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:57,920
"That's special."

1017
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,680
"If you hate me after a session,
that's a good sign."

1018
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,160
"Thank you." [chuckles]

1019
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:17,480
♪ Come on, Daddy!
Come on, Daddy! ♪

1020
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:19,800
♪ Come on, Daddy! ♪

1021
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,800
[Vasilis] He just wanted to get the win

1022
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,720
so his kids could see him win again.

1023
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,160
I see 300 to go, I'm still five back.

1024
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,600
That was like,
[sighs] "That's not so good."

1025
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,560
"He's going to lose some speed now."

1026
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,440
[commentator] Mark Cavendish
locked out of it, I'm afraid.

1027
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,760
I turn left in the final, a few back.

1028
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:42,760
[Vasilis] I get nervous.

1029
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,760
He's in the fifth, sixth wheel.
He's trying to find a way.

1030
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,400
The wind's coming from the right,

1031
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,560
and I can pass Philipsen,
but the line's coming.

1032
01:06:58,560 --> 01:06:59,960
I come at him, come at him.

1033
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:04,560
I reckon if I dive left,

1034
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,960
I'll get a bigger run
because I'll get in the slipstream.

1035
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,480
[Vasilis] Go, go, Mark.

1036
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:12,960
He sees a space, he's done it!

1037
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:17,320
[commentator] Mark Cavendish has done it!
First win since 2018!

1038
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,600
What about that? He is so pleased.

1039
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,320
I am so pleased.

1040
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,280
Whoo-hoo! Great race, man.

1041
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:25,440
Congratulations, man.

1042
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:27,960
You've done so much.

1043
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:29,560
You've really done so much.

1044
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,080
[commentator] Good things come
to those who wait.

1045
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,880
And that was a mighty long wait.

1046
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:39,680
Wow. He did it.

1047
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:41,520
The winner is back.

1048
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,960
I hadn't felt that for a while,
like, you know.

1049
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,800
[Vasilis] He proved everybody wrong.
We did our job.

1050
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:51,640
And we did brilliantly.

1051
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,320
It was just the Tour of Turkey.

1052
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,640
Every race is important, but, you know,

1053
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:58,520
I knew it wasn't the Tour de France.

1054
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:00,840
There was no chance.

1055
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,640
There was no chance
of him going to the Tour.

1056
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:07,040
They were giving him what he deserved
as the greatest sprinter of all time,

1057
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:08,560
which was the chance to go out

1058
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,760
with a team that loved him, respected him,
on his own terms.

1059
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,320
It was never to have a shot
at the Tour de France.

1060
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,360
[man] Patrick Lefevere has stated
he's not taking him to the Tour,

1061
01:08:18,440 --> 01:08:21,479
and frankly, I don't know what
that means for Mark Cavendish.

1062
01:08:22,399 --> 01:08:24,920
[somber music playing]

1063
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,359
I was deflated then, you know.

1064
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,840
[Vasilis] In cycling, you never know
what can happen.

1065
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:37,520
There are a lot of crashes,
there are a lot unexpected situations.

1066
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:43,240
So I said, "Let's focus
on the Tour de France,

1067
01:08:43,319 --> 01:08:44,920
we know that you're not going to do it,

1068
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,200
but let's prepare as if
you're going to do the Tour de France."

1069
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,080
He said, "Just go out to Italy."

1070
01:08:52,279 --> 01:08:53,800
"You never know what happens."

1071
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,120
There was no chance.

1072
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,640
There was no chance
of him going to the Tour.

1073
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:02,000
I got a call from Peta,
telling me, "Vasi, are you crazy?"

1074
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,880
"Asking him to go away from his family
again for no reason?"

1075
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,760
"He's not going to do the Tour de France,
Sam Bennett will."

1076
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,600
We were like, "We're gonna have
loads of time off now,

1077
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,319
like, this is going to be fine."

1078
01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:15,680
Yeah, we were going to go away

1079
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,720
and get to kind of come together
and spend time with each other.

1080
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,160
And then I said, "Peta, let him go."

1081
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,200
[Mark] I was out doing,
like, a super-long ride.

1082
01:09:37,279 --> 01:09:41,040
And when I got in, I had a missed call
from Head Sports Director.

1083
01:09:42,399 --> 01:09:43,399
Hello?

1084
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,080
Sam Bennett had had a knee injury.

1085
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,520
There was a big discussion,
how we go to the Tour de France.

1086
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:57,920
It was, like, 50-50,
very much doubting Mark Cavendish.

1087
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,640
Then I said, "I want Mark."
"Yeah, but you're crazy."

1088
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,360
I said, "No, I want Mark."

1089
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,680
And, of course,
at the end of the story, I'm the boss.

1090
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,600
A bit speechless, like.

1091
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:16,560
I was shocked.

1092
01:10:21,480 --> 01:10:23,720
[Patrick] I had a very good gut feeling.

1093
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:25,760
Some things you can't explain.

1094
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:29,160
You feel the ambition,
you feel he wanted to race.

1095
01:10:30,480 --> 01:10:34,720
Champions, they are ready
to do a lot of effort

1096
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,280
to show the world, "I'm not done."

1097
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,880
[Mark] I built my whole career
around this race.

1098
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:10,160
Nothing changes
to just be buzzing to be here.

1099
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:15,600
It was such a pure joy that I had for him.

1100
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,160
He got to go back to that race,
back where he loved.

1101
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,840
[Vasilis] At the start of the season,
nobody ever thought

1102
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,120
that Mark Cavendish was going
to the Tour de France.

1103
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,080
It was out of the question.

1104
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:31,840
He was a guy who couldn't finish a race
for the last three years.

1105
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,480
It's already, uh,
more than a dream to be here.

1106
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:37,960
[chuckles] Last minute call-up.

1107
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,400
I have some self-belief,
but even that, I wouldn't have believed.

1108
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,600
[man] Cav, he's been on top
of the game forever.

1109
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,040
I was teammates with him.
That shows you how long it was.

1110
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,040
That shows you how old he is.

1111
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:52,520
Cavendish is 36 now.

1112
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:56,640
I don't think it's going to happen.
It would be an amazing story.

1113
01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:59,760
[Patrick] People like this.

1114
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:00,960
The story of the…

1115
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:03,520
the lost son

1116
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,680
who has the chance to get back

1117
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:12,640
on the biggest theater of the world
in our sport.

1118
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,440
If I wasn't able to win
the Tour de France stage,

1119
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:17,200
I don't think I'd be in the Tour.

1120
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:18,760
That's right, boss, no?

1121
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:20,800
Like, I mean…

1122
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,360
Everything was good enough for me
because I paid him peanuts.

1123
01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:29,680
So, who I am to ask somebody results
if I pay him peanuts?

1124
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:31,600
[inaudible]

1125
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,440
And I said, "I know this is
really unfair what's happening."

1126
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,920
"You are here in the Tour de France
with this shit salary,

1127
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:43,880
but I give you a bonus
for every week you survive."

1128
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,480
"And I give you a bonus
for every stage you win."

1129
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,560
[upbeat music playing]

1130
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:53,480
[Mark] I was nervous.

1131
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,360
It's a different level
to the rest of cycling.

1132
01:12:57,440 --> 01:12:59,000
It's really a different level.

1133
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,360
I hadn't been there for a few years,
so I didn't know what to expect.

1134
01:13:05,440 --> 01:13:07,000
[cheers and applause]

1135
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,080
[Vasilis] I knew that he was strong enough
to survive.

1136
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,600
I knew that he would suffer
like a dog every day.

1137
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,760
But Mark's a big, big champ
and a big warrior.

1138
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,600
[inaudible]

1139
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,360
[Vasilis] He's just going
to win for his kids.

1140
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:25,240
You know, Casper had never
saw him winning.

1141
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:27,560
[Peta screaming]

1142
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:30,240
I had all of the kids at home.

1143
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,680
-[indistinct commentary on TV]
-[Peta screaming]

1144
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:34,360
We were on the TV.

1145
01:13:34,440 --> 01:13:36,320
[Delilah] You got this.

1146
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:38,760
[Peta] The children are just over the moon
and excited.

1147
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:40,760
[cheering]

1148
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,320
[Peta] But regardless of anything
that happened now,

1149
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,880
whether he left after a week,

1150
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,920
whether he won no stages,
whether he whatever, it didn't matter

1151
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,320
because he'd got to go back to that race.

1152
01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,600
[commentator]
The Tour de France is underway

1153
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,120
and the first attacks are beginning.

1154
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:02,040
The fight is on.

1155
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,320
A fairytale return for Mark Cavendish.

1156
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:09,280
[Delilah] Go on!

1157
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:13,080
It started so fast.

1158
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,080
[commentator] Here, everybody's
going for everything.

1159
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:18,480
It was the Tour de France,

1160
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:22,280
but a level up from
where I'd left a few years ago.

1161
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,040
[people cheering]

1162
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,200
I… I remember thinking to myself, like,

1163
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,680
"What the fuck have I done here?"

1164
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:35,120
"Oh, shit."

1165
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:37,720
[commentator] Oh, crash behind.

1166
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:39,960
And I think that is a mass crash.

1167
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:41,760
Really hectic right now

1168
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,480
because there was a crash
in the back of the peloton.

1169
01:14:45,440 --> 01:14:47,000
[commentator 1] Another rider down.

1170
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,440
Huge crash behind! Oh, that's carnage!

1171
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:53,240
[commentator 2] It's an absolute shocker.

1172
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,920
This is exactly
what we didn't want to happen

1173
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,840
on the opening day of the Tour de France.

1174
01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:02,960
Wow! It is absolutely crazy here.

1175
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,360
[commentator 2] Yet another one!
Sagan is down!

1176
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,920
[commentator] Awful crashes that have
taken their toll on the race already.

1177
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:17,120
We've got several riders
very patched up here.

1178
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:23,240
I just count myself lucky I didn't
come down like some of the other guys.

1179
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:26,480
This race.

1180
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,400
We always talk about how dangerous
the first week of the Tour is.

1181
01:15:32,480 --> 01:15:34,280
These guys go to bed every night

1182
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:37,360
praying they're not gonna

1183
01:15:37,440 --> 01:15:39,320
[man 1] They are going a lot faster.

1184
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,600
[man 2] Faster speeds
than we've ever seen.

1185
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,400
[commentator] It's not often you see that.

1186
01:15:56,480 --> 01:15:59,240
Not often you see that
little display of vulnerability.

1187
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,320
-[people clamoring]
-[indistinct announcement on PA]

1188
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,680
[Vasilis] He was racing against
the fastest sprinters in the world.

1189
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,800
Most of them are really young, and,

1190
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:15,560
in the normal, he cannot beat them.

1191
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,080
Last time I'd won at the Tour,
I'd won in Fougères.

1192
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,320
I spoke to my teammates about it,

1193
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:27,800
and said, "The most important thing
is to get into that final right-hander

1194
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:29,080
near the front."

1195
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,080
"Get me there and I'll do it."

1196
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:35,840
[man] My pick is Cavendish.

1197
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,680
Are you kidding me?
You have these man-crushes.

1198
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:40,400
And they take over your life.

1199
01:16:40,480 --> 01:16:42,640
No, Quick-Step, no.

1200
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:43,720
Absolutely not.

1201
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:45,920
[man] Well, we'll see.

1202
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:50,160
[indistinct announcement on PA]

1203
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,440
[commentator 1] That's an awful lot
of not just damaged equipment,

1204
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,840
but damaged bodies in this peloton.

1205
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,800
[commentator 2] I've never seen
so many riders in bandages.

1206
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:12,400
Another thing I've seen
is Mark Cavendish, who's stopped.

1207
01:17:12,480 --> 01:17:14,920
He did something
on his handlebar or his cleats.

1208
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,080
Bit of trouble there for Mark Cavendish.

1209
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:21,600
[Casper] ♪ Come on, Daddy! ♪

1210
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,800
[Peta] There had been a problem.
He'd had a mechanical and dropped back.

1211
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:29,560
And it was like, "Oh, shit."

1212
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,240
[commentator 1] So, we've got a breakaway.

1213
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,040
[commentator 2] Don't be surprised
about this rider disappearing

1214
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,400
up the road and causing the peloton
a huge problem.

1215
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:47,080
[Peta] A breakaway is when a rider
breaks away from the main peloton

1216
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:50,160
and goes off on their own
out at the front of the race.

1217
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,280
[commentator]
This is the time trial of his life.

1218
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,240
It's going to be tight.
The stage win is still possible.

1219
01:17:56,640 --> 01:18:00,200
[Peta] And you've got a group behind
of 100-plus riders

1220
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:01,720
that are chasing you down.

1221
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:07,080
I was looking at the times
and working it out

1222
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,400
and thinking,
"They're leaving it very late."

1223
01:18:09,480 --> 01:18:12,160
"That is going to need a big pull
to be on the front."

1224
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:15,680
Mom, I don't know…

1225

[indistinct commentary on TV]

1226
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,280
[Mark] Julian was in green, and I remember
him just going on the front

1227
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:24,480
and just pulling.

1228
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,560
Just pulling with no thought
other than catching the break.

the burn seat, just for the time being.

Where is he? Yes.

for Brent van Moer. Can he hold on?

They're hunting him down. They're coming!

1234
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:58,360
[Peta] Mark's in the middle
of all of that. Daddy's blocked in.

1235

[commentator] Look at this.
350 meters to go!

Can he be caught? It's going to be tight!

Oh, no, he's boxed in, he's boxed in.

"I don't think
I witnessed what I witnessed."

the question?

the equal of Eddy Merckx?

1351
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:11,920
It really brought a human side

1352
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,840
to what I do for the first point
in my career, really.

1353
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:19,120
It made me realize

1354
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:20,400
I didn't win it alone.

1355
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:24,160
I wish I knew that.

1356
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:27,640
I could go back and do my career again
knowing that, you know.

1357
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:31,200
This is how it was always supposed to be.

1358
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:34,640
[in unison] We're so proud of you, Daddy.

1359
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,120
[cheers and applause]

1360
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:49,320
[Lance] How sick would it be,

1361
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:52,560
he's at 34,

1362
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,240
coming into Paris,
and he's still in the race,

1363
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:57,560
and that's the day to break the record?

1364
01:26:57,640 --> 01:26:58,760
[man] You can't script that.

1365
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:00,560
-You cannot script that.
-Yeah.

1366
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:09,920
You all right?

1367
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:11,720
-Hi.
-Can I give Daddy these?

1368
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:13,800
-Look who it is!
-[Mark] Hello!

1369
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:15,000
[Casper] Hello, Dad!

1370
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:17,360
Hi, Dad!

1371
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,520
Daddy, you got me a present.

1372
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:22,720
Hello.

1373
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:25,840
[Peta] Daddy, have you got me
my new green jersey?

1374
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:27,840
[Casper] Daddy, what's that noise?

1375
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:32,040
[Peta] Daddy's going to do his race.
We'll see him at the finish.

1376
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:34,760
-Love you!
-Good luck, Daddy!

1377
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:38,320
[upbeat music playing]

1378
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:45,480
[yells]

1379
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:49,000
We're here now, just coming through
on to the 1 km flag.

1380
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,440
This is the Champs-Élysées.

1381
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,560
The most beautiful finish
to any bike race in the world.

1382
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:55,960
I was very fortunate
to do that with that man,

1383
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:58,760
Mark Cavendish,
who's going for number five today.

1384
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:00,920
It's magic. Magic.

1385
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,640
This is going to be my last transmission.

1386
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:05,640
I love it. I love this sport.

1387
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,320
I'll hand you back to the commentary team.
And come on, Mark!

1388
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:12,560
[commentator] Three weeks of racing
in France, and it all comes down to this.

1389
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:14,040
700 meters to go!

1390
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:23,640
Onto the cobbles on the Champs-Élysées.

1391
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:29,080
Cavendish battling for space.
It's getting tight!

1392
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:42,480
Cavendish, he's boxed in.

1393
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,400
Bernal takes it.
Frustration for Cavendish.

1394
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,840
Not to be in the end for Mark Cavendish,

1395
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:02,320
but, boy, can he be proud
of the last three weeks in France.

1396
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:06,120
Equaling the Merckx's record
and taking the green jersey,

1397
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:08,400
fully a decade after he last claimed it.

1398
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:10,920
No one has ever done that before.

1399
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,120
[Mark] There's no number that's enough.

1400
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:19,280
[speaking indistinctly]

1401
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,920
[Mark] But I've got
the most incredible family…

1402
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:23,800
You all right, mate?

1403
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:28,200
With that alone, my life is perfect.

1404
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,320
Daddy, did you win?

1405
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:32,240
Daddy!

1406
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:34,560
-Daddy!
-[Peta] One minute.

1407
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:35,800
What you doing?

1408
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:40,400
-[Peta speaks indistinctly]
-Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!

1409
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:47,160
-Daddy?
-Casper, just give him a minute.

1410
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:50,760
[Mark] I'll continue trying to win
for as long as I believe I can win.

1411
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:22,360
[in German] Good morning
from Austria with Bernie Eisel.

1412
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:42,080
[indistinct]
