It looks like
Mark Cavendish will compete in the
Tour of Turkey (October 8-15) this fall. The organization announced on Twitter today that the 38-year-old Manxman will appear at the start of the eight-day stage race. Cavendish himself and his team Astana Qazaqstan have not yet released anything about his program.
Cavendish has not competed since the Tour de France, where he crashed in the eighth stage and had to give up. The Manx Missile was chasing his 35th stage victory in the Tour, which would make him the sole record holder for the number of stage wins.
