Cav won all of his stages sprinting - of course he's not going to lead the race (did he ever win a prologue?).
Merckx was a cheat so his "wins" should have a fucking asterisk next to them anyway.

Merckx was caught with 3 different substances on 3 different occasions, I believe Cav is yet to be caught with anything.
Don't get me wrong, probably all of them were/are doping, and I do still think that what Merckx could achieve is absolutely incredible, but he's a bit of a bitter old cunt. -
I agree I think the saltiness about Merck’s comments is a bit OTT. If you imagine him saying these things as an old man with a wry smile they seem pretty reasonable.
It’s not like he’s had PR training FFS.

But he's not wrong is he? Even if you added the palmares of Cavendish, Froome and Cadel together, they would be nowhere near Merckx.
