MARK Cavendish expects to be less dominant when he defends his green jersey as the Tour de France's best sprinter after changing his training regimen and losing weight for the London Olympics.
The Briton, who joined Team Sky last season from the defunct HTC outfit, said he has lost four kilograms following his new team's scientific approach to training.
Cavendish knows he won't get the support at the June 30-July 22 Tour that he used to receive when riding in a team built to fulfill his ambitions, not with Team Sky rider Bradley Wiggins looking to become the first Briton to wear the yellow jersey down the Champs Elysees.
"I will win stages but I may not win five," Cavendish said, referring to his 2011 total. "My sprint has suffered a little bit, but the guys who are sprinters, like I was, won't be there in the finish (of the Olympics)."
