"I don't think anybody can say they wouldn't go back and change bits and pieces" - Mark Cavendish reflects on career regrets

After Mark Cavendish's final Tour de France ended in heartbreak, crashing out with a broken collarbone, many feared whether or not that was the last we would see of the 'Manx Missile' in the peloton. Cavendish isn't quite done yet though.

Recently released on Netflix has been Cavendish's documentary, Never Enough. Reflecting on both the documentary and his career as a whole, the 38-year-old admits there are regrets. "I feel it shows a good representation of the real me, which anyone wants in a film about them," he says to BBC Sport. "Whether for good or for bad, you want real representation. I laid myself quite bare doing it."

"I don't think anybody can sit and say they wouldn't go back and change bits and pieces here and there," he continues. "But it doesn't matter... you can't. All you can do is learn from good things you've done and bad things you've done, and put them into practice for shaping you for where you want to go."

Rumours of Cavendish prolonging his career into 2024 and having one final crack at taking the outright record of Tour de France stage wins continue to swirl. He himself though doesn't want to make a possible return all about the record. "The media started that, and all of a sudden that's all I'm going for," he concludes.
