The 38-year-old is targeting a record-breaking 35th Tour de France stage win. The 38-year-old had announced during the Giro d’Italia in May that he intended to end his glittering career this winter. He went into this summer’s Tour seeking the stage win that would move him clear of Eddy Merckx after he equalled the Belgian on 34 stage wins in 2021 but he fell a few metres short of victory and suffered injury a few days later. Cavendish has now released a short video in which he said he had been persuaded to race on by his family.

And Morkov announced that he'd sign for Astana as well. Best sprinter and best leadout man together for one more season. I think that the record will be broken next year.
Q: Number of years Mark Cavendish was a pro cyclist?
A: n+1 🤩
Absolutely fantastic news 😂😂😂
Even though el Tractor is said to be headed to another team, I'm hoping Astana will go to work on him! Another year, incredible.
i thought he was Australian… sorry for that
Go for it man(x).
Oh brilliant. Lovely news ❤❤❤
Long live King Cavendish
