Mark Cavendish said on Wednesday that he is optimistic about his chances of adding to his tally of 15 Giro d’Italia stage wins as he prepares to return to the race for the first time since 2013.
“I’ve prepared for this race where I didn’t prepare for the Tour [in 2021] so I’m quite relaxed,” the British sprinter said. “I’ve had a good buildup so I’m pretty happy with where I’m at.”
