Mark Cavendish - Philippe Gilbert has 'no hesitation' that Manx Missile will break Tour de France win record
Eurosport expert Philippe Gilbert says he has “no hesitation” that Mark Cavendish will claim the outright record for most stage wins at the Tour de France. Cavendish is currently tied with Eddy Merckx on 34 victories at cycling’s most prestigious event, having drawn alongside the Belgian great with a stunning four-stage haul in 2021. However, he was overlooked for the Tour by Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl last year, prompting the 37-year-old to seal a move to Astana Qazaqstan for the new campaign.
