MARK CAVENDISH will have to share the record for most career stage wins at the Tour de France.
This edition was his last chance to become the outright record-holder after he announced in May during the Giro d’Italia that he will retire from cycling at the end of this season. Cavendish ended the Giro in style, winning the final stage in the historic center of Rome to post his 17th stage win at the Italian Grand Tour.
Cavendish’s teammate, Gianni Moscon, said he had to brake suddenly because of a crash in front of him “and someone changed line and he just hit the rear wheel of the guy in front of him and went down.” Astana-Qazaqstan public relations manager Philippe Maertens told The Associated Press that Cavendish was hospitalized in the city of Perigueux. He added that a screw that was inserted during the 2017 Tour to fix a scapula injury had become loose after his latest crash. Maertens added that Cavendish was expected to return home soon.
Cavendish became the fifth rider to abandon this year after Enric Mas, Richard Carapaz, Jacopo Guarnieri and Luis Leon Sanchez, who all crashed out. That became six toward the end of Saturday’s stage when Belgian rider Steff Cras was caught in yet another pileup and retired.
