Mark Cavendish will continue to compete for Astana-Qazaqstan in 2024 despite announcing his retirement in May. 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.
