Mark Cavendish is one of, if not the greatest sprinter in cycling history. A stage win at this year's Tour de France saw him claim the outright stage win record from Eddy Merckx, taking his total to 35. An incredible achievement which represents nearly two decades at the top of the road cycling sprint tree.
This summer, it was reported that 2024 would be Mark Cavendish's final Tour de France after the completion of 'Project 35'. After months of speculation about whether he actually would retire, the Tour de France Prudential Singapore Criterium was the Manxman's final race.
