There is no beef, there's just a sour, doper, Merckx
“I won 34 Tour stages by winning sprints, in the mountains, in time trials and going on the attack on the descents. Let's not forget the five yellow jerseys I’ve got at home plus the 96 days I wore it. Does that not seem much?"
"We can't compare. I rode 2800 km in front, Cavendish did that for 6 seconds"

Isn't the supposed Merckx / Cav beef a bit overblown? The quotes here are hardly disrespectful, and why shouldn't Merckx point out his own incredible record? Or has he said more that I has missed?
