As a sprinter,
Mark Cavendish has a built a career very few riders could ever compare. Much of that was due to brilliant and experienced leadout men; but yesterday at the
Tour of Turkey the Manx Missile lost an important opportunity as he left the wheel of his teammates.
“It’s the first stage of Tour of Türkiye done. My team rode incredible, and do you know what I did? I left my lead-out man in the final to follow another train. And that was a big mistake, because Ballerini did an incredible job," Cavendish admitted in an Instagram story. On the opening day of the race, guided towards the sprinters, Cavendish entered the final two kilometers in the head of the peloton together with three
Astana Qazaqstan Team teammates.
