Cavendish bidding to take record-breaking 35th stage win‘This race gives me the most incredible emotions’
Mark Cavendish, who is currently tied with the five-time champion Eddy Merckx as the Tour de France stage win record-holder, says there will “be no room for sentimentality” when he seeks to take a record-breaking 35th stage win in this year’s race.
Cavendish, who won the final stage of this year’s Giro d’Italia in Rome, is enjoying yet another resurgence in form and starts his 14th and final Tour, which begins in Bilbao on Saturday, as the star turn for the Astana Qazaqstan team.
