Astana-Qazaqstan have offered Mark Cavendish a contract extension to ride on the Tour de France next year despite the Briton's planned retirement at the end of this season, the team's general manager Alexander Vinokourov said.
Since the construction of a railway taking tourists to the summit of the now-extinct volcano in the Auvergne, it was thought that the Puy de Dome’s time on the Tour was over.

Ad His exit was made extra painful given what happened 24 hours earlier, when a mechanical likely denied him a record 35th win at the Tour.

Pedersen held off Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) in a fatiguing but fascinating finish as Jumbo-Visma's hard work to tee up Wout van Aert came to nothing, as the Belgian was boxed in by his own leadout rider before beginning his sprint.
