CyclingWednesday, 15 March 2023 at 07:00
Mark Cavendish is yet to take a win for Astana Qazaqstan Team, but today he faces a good opportunity as he leads the Kazakh team at Milano-Torino where he was crowned winner last year.
Cavendish will face a pan-flat race which will suit his capabilities. The Manxman rode to two Top 10 results at the UAE Tour. After an illness, he continued his racing schedule at Tirreno-Adriatico, looking to build form towards his spring goals which include the Italian race. He will have the presence of a strong leadout including Cees Bol who was signed with a similar role.

- When I play football (soccer) with friends, I know I'm not able to do what Messi does, even in his older age. When I play basketball with friends, I'm not Jason Tatum or that new college kid, Cooper Flagg. When one person wins nearly all the F1 races in a season, as happens so often, does that mean we've lost the magical closeness of Fangio to what driving on real roads used to be like? I expect to watch stellar athletes when I watch professional sports, and I know how hard they work to arrive at those skills and efforts. (My daughter was a semi-professional athlete, and now coaches. The training involved is unreal.) When I go for a ride through the local hills, I know I'm slow (I'm also past 50 by a chunk). My bike is slow, my legs are slow, I'm so much slower than I once was, and I love every moment of being out on 2 wheels. My enjoyment of the sport has nothing to do with how good the pros are. Any athlete treating this remotely like an amateur sport (in terms of weight training, nutrition, lack of altitude camps, and so on) will not succeed. Sky, then Jumbo Visma, then UAE, made the sport more precise, more focused, and harder to win. That's what the pro in professional means, doesn't it?RidesHills01-05-2025
- MSR no competition? From the Cipressa onward, that was the most amazing MSR finish I've ever watched! Same with Paris-Roubaix, which together with Flanders had the racing start much, much earlier than before. Perhaps by the finale things are decided, in some cases, but the racing has been incredible.RidesHills01-05-2025
- Anyone who isn’t, isn’t close to their limit. Limits are very different from one person to the next but unless you have a mental incapacity, you should always be scared at your limit, if you’re not, you probably won’t live long.Mistermaumau01-05-2025
- That’s most likely true yes.Mistermaumau01-05-2025
- I once rode on a chainy with Wiggins, that was soo cool, before he won the Tour, he looked like he was in great condition 👍
leedorney01-05-2025 - I think I'm related to Jonas. I'm always scared of descents and crashes during our weekly group rides.Ride197401-05-2025
- This is what happens when your training partner is Pog.....😊
Senna196001-05-2025 - That was nice of Jonas to give this guy a great memory he'll have forever. From this photo it looks like Jonas has some muscle back that he lost last year after his crash, hopefully this means the Tour will be more competitive between him and Tadej.awp01-05-2025
- He and Pogacar both have taken insane risks on descents, particularly in time trials. I have to imagine most cycling fans would be happy to see them back off a bit.
Barney01-05-2025 - Only when the titans collide will it be interesting. MSR, PR,Flanders. LBL there was no competition. TDF Jonas will be thereabstractengineer01-05-2025
