“He will risk it all for that one stage" - Adam Hansen confident Mark Cavendish can take historic victory at the Tour de France
CyclingMonday, 26 June 2023 at 19:00
Astana Qazaqstan Team's Tour de France lineup has been announced and as expected, Mark Cavendish has been granted a final chance to take sole control of the Tour de France stage win record.
“He will risk it all for that one stage. I wouldn’t be surprised if he just won and then walked home. Win a stage, break the record, hang up his wheels,” says his former teammate Adam Hansen in conversation with the British newspaper i. “I really hope he gets 35. I hope he breaks the record. Nothing to do with Merckx, I just personally know Cav. He’s always a laugh, a good character, and just loves riding his bike. He deserves it.”

Hansen and Cavendish worked together at the 2008 Tour de France, with the Manx Missile taking four stage wins as he announced himself on the biggest stage of the sport. “I wish him the best,” continues the 42-year-old Australian who now heads up the Cyclistes Professionnels Associés, cyclist's union.
Cavendish will be supported by more of a sprint train at the Tour de France than he received at the Giro d'Italia, when he had to wait until the final stage and needed help from his old friend Geraint Thomas, to take a sole stage win at the race.

- Does everything need to have a point? If so, 99% of the internet should be wiped away. In relation to recent articles with quotes from other riders, my statement points to the ever more obvious reason why they are asked to comment on the effect of his return.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
