Arise Sir Mark Cavendish. A month after being knighted, Sir Mark Cavendish broke the Tour de France stage wins record yesterday as he took his 35th victory in cycling's greatest race to surpass the legendary Eddy Merckx with a sensational sprint finish in Saint Vulbas. Cavendish’s legacy is secure - he’s the greatest road sprinter the Tour, and sport, has seen. I personally admire the following strengths that Cavendish has, which can relate to business too… 1.   Dedication and Commitment = Longevity It’s rare for a sprinter to still be competing at 39 years old in his 18th year racing in the top-flight of professional cycling. 2.   Resilience It would have been very easy for Cavendish to have given up faced with adversity, but he battled on despite setbacks including a painful tooth abscess in 2010, a debilitating virus in 2017 and clinical depression in 2018. Last year, he suffered a race-ending crash on stage eight when he broke his collar bone. Surely time to call it a day? Not for Sir Mark!   3.   Intelligence Cavendish doesn’t just have supreme physical fitness and a burning desire to succeed, but also an innate ability to read a race and outsmart his competitors. 4.   The Sheer Will to Win Cavendish had jointly held the record for most Tour stage wins with Belgian, Merckx, since winning his 34th stage in 2021. Last year was supposed to be his final Tour, but the dream of ending his career with the outright Tour stage record motivated him to make another comeback. Cavendish is now immortalised in the race's history as the Tour's greatest ever stage winner. A true inspiration – never give up and dig deep to find a way to win. #inspiration #success #motivation

Awesome evening with David Millar at Bremont Watch Company’s fabulous Henley HQ last night. David is known for being very candid and matter of fact about pro-cycling’s doping problem and how he succumbed to it, but it is thanks to him and a handful of others like Jonathan Vaughters taking proactive action to demonstrate riders can win without doping that we are now able to enjoy what he calls a golden era of pure pro-cycling with some incredible young talent racing extremely competitively drug-free. It was also great to hear how after such a painful downfall David found his peace and developed a new love of cycling for the enjoyment of it rather than just the competition. My take aways: 1. You have much more time than you think - be patient. Chip away. 2. Never give up; don’t panic. It might hurt, but you’ll finish and learn a lot. 3. The pain teaches you more than success; you learn much more about yourself and your resilience. (The best cyclists can endure immense pain to inflict suffering in their rivals and break them; despite the pain it’s not suffering to them) 4. The UK has the coolest cycling community - it’s just a bit more edgy and underground than anywhere else 🤙🏼 5. There’s no such thing as mechanical-doping in pro-cycling; any accusation of it can just be considered a great compliment by the recipient! 6. I do not have the build to be a competitive cyclist!

Many people talk about environmental factors in production, transport, development and much more. It is of course important that we consider these factors. But in my opinion it is also important to talk about durability in these times. Do you buy cheap/poor quality to throw away after a short time? Do you primarily buy things because of the current fashion and then buy new ones when the fashion changes and the product is no longer fashionable? or do you choose the classic design and the good quality so that it can last for a lifetime? https://lnkd.in/djPhaTu9
