Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl’s treatment of Mark Cavendish in the build-up to the Tour de France was “disgraceful”, claims Matt Stephens on the latest episode of The Bradley Wiggins Show. Cavendish was overlooked for the Tour despite winning four stages to draw level with Eddy Merckx’s all-time record (34) and the green jersey last year, with Quick-Step instead naming Fabio Jakobsen as their sprinter. Jakobsen is also plotting one of the sport’s great comebacks after fighting back from devastating injuries suffered at the 2020 Tour of Poland.
