On a thrilling day in Zipaquirá, Astana Qazaqstan Team's Mark Cavendish won the fourth stage of the Tour Colombia 2024. The British cyclist highlighted the importance of starting the season with a win. Particularly significant when he achieved it ahead of Colombian Fernando Gaviria, with whom he has maintained a rivalry for the last decade.
Cavendish praised the work of his teammate, Michael Morkov, who played a crucial role in his victory as he approached the final sprint. "We were really working both my team and Movistar. It cost a lot to reach the lead, it was a huge effort. I'm very happy with this victory," said the experienced rider, who added his 163rd win as a professional.
The Manx Missile emphasized the importance of taking the first win of the season, describing it as a good start for him and his team. Cavendish was pleased to get back to winning ways, especially after teammate Harold Tejada's initial victory in the first stage of the race.
Regarding his rivalry with Fernando Gaviria, Cavendish, 38, recalled clashes with the Colombian cyclist in Argentina a decade ago. "I remember Gaviria when he was just a kid; he beat me in Argentina 10 years ago. I've seen him go from being a kid to a man. We have a very good relationship. It's exciting to be here competing in a sprint with him," Cavendish concluded.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
