As has become the custom towards the end of the year, a host of big names from the peloton travel to Asia to showcase the sport to new eyes. One such event this year will be the
Tour de France Prudential
Singapore Criterium with the first few star attractions now announced.
Headlining the field is the most successful sprinter of all time,
Mark Cavendish, who in his final Tour de France appearance earlier this summer, took a record breaking 35th stage victory, overtaking the legendary Eddy Merckx to move into sole lead at the top of the all-time standings of cycling's most iconic race.
