MARK CAVENDISH is a British cycling icon known for his sprint stage victories in road races such as the Tour de France.
Mark Cavendish, sometimes known as the Manx Missile, is an Isle of Man cycling superstar. He is largely regarded as the greatest road sprinter in history, having won a record-equaling 34 Tour de France stages.
Cavendish won the world title in 2011, winning the rainbow jersey in Copenhagen. He has won the points jersey in all three Grand Tours, including the Tour de France twice, the Giro d’Italia, and the Vuelta a Espana.
He has also won medals on the track, winning Madison gold three times at the UCI track world championships in 2005, 2008, and 2016.
Unfortunately, Cavendish has never won an Olympic gold medal, though he came close in 2016 with omnium silver in Rio.
