LONDON : Mark Cavendish was named in Britain's road squad long list for the UCI World Championships on Monday although his chances of racing look slim after he crashed out of the Tour de France at the weekend.
SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain : Ineos-Grenadiers have just a slim chance of placing a rider on the Tour de France podium, but the British team are counting on underdogs Egan Bernal and Tom Pidcock to spring a surprise on a race they dominated for almost a decade.
Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) insists he would not have claimed a fairytale win at the 2023 Giro d’Italia without help from “legend” Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers). Speaking exclusively to Eurosport for new documentary Mark Cavendish: All In ahead of his tilt for a record 35th stage win at the Tour de France, Cavendish relived his incredible victory on the final stage in May. Ad Cavendish was launched into the sprint showdown by friend and former team-mate Thomas, who drove the pace on the front during a frantic finale in Rome just 24 hours after his own dream of winning the overall race unravelled.
The Tour will kick off outside France for the 25th time. It will the second start from the Spanish Basque Country after San Sebastian in 1992. After two stages entirely in Spain, the peloton heads for Bayonne in France. In 2022, the Grande Boucle started in Copenhagen and in 2024 it gets underway in Florence, Italy. Cities pay dearly for the right to host the Grand Depart, which race organisers ASO insist expands the international influence of one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) may be one victory away from claiming the outright record of Tour de France stage wins, but the 38-year-old insists it is “irrelevant” as he gears up for his swansong at cycling’s biggest race. Cavendish is tied with Belgian great Eddy Merckx on 34 stage wins after an astonishing career, which will come to a close later in 2023. Ad He made a stunning return to form at the Giro d’Italia, when he survived the mountains to win the final stage in Rome after a surprise helping hand from Ineos' Geraint Thomas.
Alberto Contador has backed Mark Cavendish to secure a win at the Tour de France to break out of a tie with Eddie Merckx for the most stage wins in the famous Grand Tour. Cavendish bounced back from a spell in the wilderness to win four stages in the 2021 edition of the race to move level with Merckx on 34 victories.
Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) has confirmed he will not ride the Tour de France and is set to target the Vuelta a Espana again. Roglic is coming off the back of winning the Giro d’Italia, where he overhauled Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) in dramatic fashion. Ad With the Tour starting in a few weeks, it was always unlikely that Roglic would return so soon for another Grand Tour.
Cycling has paid tribute to Swiss rider Gino Mader, who died at the age of 26 on Friday as the result of injuries suffered in a crash at the Tour de Suisse a day earlier.
