Mark Cavendish will compete in the two-race Tour de France Criterium in Singapore before bowing out from professional cycling
Briton’s last race is Tour de France Criterium in SingaporeMark Cavendish has confirmed that he will retire on Sunday, ending a glittering career that saw him break the all-time record for most stage wins at the Tour de France and win four world titles on the track and road.
The 39-year-old, who announced his retirement last year before reversing that decision, said he would hang his cleats up after the Tour de France Prudential Singapore Criterium. “Cycling has given me so much and I love the sport, I’ve always wanted to make a difference in it and now I am ready to see what the next chapter has in store for me.”
That record was achieved in a typical Cavendish fashion, as he accelerated clear in the last few metres in Saint-Vulbas before raising his arms in triumph as he crossed the finish line. He also departs having won 165 overall stage victories, ranking him second on the all time list behind only Merckx.
