Mark Cavendish, the celebrated British cyclist, is preparing to mark the end of his career at the Tour de France Criterium this November. The 39-year-old, famously known as the "Manx Missile," will compete in the two-day event held in Singapore on 9-10 November, according to the race organizers. This final race will be his first since July, where he tied the all-time record for Tour de France stage wins, achieving an impressive 35 stage victories.
Over his illustrious career, Cavendish claimed 165 wins and distinguished himself as one of cycling’s most formidable sprinters. His achievements extend beyond road cycling, as he also earned an individual silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and secured three world championship titles in the Madison event. Cavendish initially planned to retire at the end of the 2023 season but postponed his decision after a crash at last year's Tour de France, choosing to continue his career for another season.
As Cavendish heads into his final competition, his legacy in cycling remains unparalleled. Known for his explosive speed and tactical prowess, he has inspired generations of cyclists and set records that define excellence in the sport. His farewell in Singapore will be a momentous occasion, closing a chapter on one of cycling’s most storied careers.
