True, but he tends to win early, but prolifically, then disappear until the final stage, if he's still in the race. Contrast with Cavendish at his peak, who would start slowly then clean up from around the 5th stage onwards.

I hate to say it but I reckon Kittel will win more TdF stages than Cav eventually, he's so utterly dominant, at least as dominant as Cav was in his pomp. Cav's dominance was also a reflection of the incredible strength and honing of the HTC-Highroad sprint train, while with Kittel its just get him somewhere near the front and drop him off and he'll blow everyones wheels off.
Plus hair. Such lovely hair.

Although it's hard to tell considering Kittel's only finished 2 GTs in his career
