Mark Cavendish has kept his hopes of breaking a long-standing Tour de France record alive after confirming he has made a switch to Astana Qazaqstan. Cavendish has enjoyed plenty of success in the sport's flagship event, having secured 34-stage wins.
His latest Tour stage victory came back in 2021, equalling the record set by former Belgian star Eddy Merckx. Despite only being one win away from the outright record, there were fears Cavendish would never get the chance to reach the feat.
This comes after the British star's future remained up in the air after B&B Hotels-KTM were forced to disband, a team Cavendish had reportedly agreed terms with.
