Sprinter Mark Cavendish is the rider with the record for the most Tour de France stage wins. The Manxman took his first win in 2008 at Chateauroux riding for Team Colombia and took number 35, 16 years later in Saint Vulbas riding for XDS Astana.
The record makes Cavendish the greatest sprinter in Tour de France history as the riders directly below him in the list are all GC riders until number six, André Darrigade, who won his stages in the late 50s and early 60s. Below him, Freddy Maertens won 15 stages and Marcel Kittel, a rival of Cavendish's for several seasons, is on 14.
