Mark Cavendish will have a familiar figure by his side for his final Tour de France as Mark Renshaw joins Astana-Qazaqstan for the duration of the race as ‘a sprint and lead-out consultant.’
Renshaw served as Cavendish’s lead-out man for nine seasons during spells at Highroad, QuickStep and Dimension Data, earning a reputation as the peloton’s foremost exponent of the art. The Australian retired from racing at the end of the 2019 campaign. He served as safety manager for last year's World Championships in Wollongong.
