Mark Cavendish abandons Milano - Torino with reported sickness
CyclingWednesday, 13 March 2024 at 14:40
The rocky start to 2024 continues for Mark Cavendish as the legendary British sprinter has abandoned mid-race at Milano - Torino.
Pre-race, Cavendish eluded to the fact that he wasn't feeling particularly great and it is believed that this illness has resulted in his abandonment. It's now expected Astana Qazaqstan Team will be forced to change their tactics somewhat and instead ride in the service of Cavendish's leadout man, Cees Bol.
For Cavendish, attention remains firmly on his final Tour de France later this summer but it's now three straight races started but not finished for the 38-year-old.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
