‘We are going to sprint in the Tour with Fabio Jakobsen’ – Mark Cavendish set to miss out on Tour de France
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl team manager Patrick Lefevere said that Mark Cavendish will likely miss out on selection for the Tour de France, with Fabio Jakobsen the preferred sprinter. The Manxman will only be considered should Jakobsen have any issues, and a final call will be made following the conclusion of the Tour de Suisse on June 21, as the eight riders will be confirmed.
