Former sprinter Mark Renshaw has joined Astana Qazaqstan as a directeur sportif for the upcoming season. The Australian is set to work with Mark Cavendish as the Briton seeks a record-breaking 35th Tour de France stage win next summer.
Renshaw joined the Kazakhstani team last July for the Tour, coming on board as a 'sprint and lead-out consultant' before Cavendish crashed out of the race on stage 8.
