Cavendish out of Tour, still stuck on 30 stage wins
Print Edition
Mark Cavendish won鈥檛 get a chance this month to overhaul Eddy Merckx鈥檚 record of 34 stage victories at the Tour de France.
The 34-year-old British sprinter with 30 stage victories, second only to Merckx, wasn鈥檛 included yesterday on the eight-rider squad for the race by his team, Dimension Data. Cavendish hasn鈥檛 missed a Tour since his first in 2007. But he also hasn鈥檛 won a stage since he took four in 2016 to overhaul Bernard Hinault on the list of stage winners. Hinault won 28. Cavendish, the dominant sprinter of his generation, has been struggling to rediscover his speed since he was diagnosed in 2017 with the Epstein-Barr virus, which can cause fatigue and inflammation. Without Cavendish, the headliners for South Africa鈥檚 Dimension Data at the Tour that starts on Saturday will be Roman Kreuziger, who has four top-10 finishes at the Tour, and Edvald Boasson Hagen, who has three stage wins.
