Mark Cavendish remains on Great Britain's long list for World Championships

Mark Cavendish, the 2011 world champion, remains on the 21-strong men's long list issued by British Cycling on Monday but, after breaking his right collarbone on Saturday, the Manxman is highly unlikely to be part of the final eight-man squad for the road race on August 6.

The 38-year old has travelled home from the Tour and was due to see a doctor on Monday to determine the next steps in his recovery. Cavendish is due to retire at the end of the season but has been offered a contract extension by Astana Qazaqstan in the wake of his crash.
