Says it will be ‘really nice’ to race as a Knight CommanderNo more Tours but ‘I’ve still got races this year’
Sir Mark Cavendish has said it will be “really nice” to race as a Knight Commander as he received a knighthood at Windsor Castle. The 39-year-old from the Isle of Man finished this season with a record-breaking 35th career Tour de France stage win in what he said would “likely” be his last race.
However, he has postponed retirement before, and has since given mixed messages about whether he will race again. Asked on Wednesday about his future in the sport, after receiving his knighthood from the Prince of Wales, he hinted at a return. “I’ve still got races this year,” he said. “I’m still training for them, it will be really nice to race as a Knight Commander.”
