Opinion: Mark Cavendish's Giro d'Italia stage win may not be enough to ensure Tour de France selection - but it should
Mark Cavendish will leave the 2022 Giro d’Italia with just the one victory after the teams of the big sprinters were left with eggs of their collective faces by a Dries De Bondt-inspired breakaway in the final flat finish of the race on Thursday. One win is two fewer than Frenchman Arnaud Demare (Groupama-FDJ), who has enjoyed something of a Cavendish-style renaissance in the past fortnight with a hat-trick of triumphs and the maglia ciclamino by a country mile.
