Especially in the case of Cavendish, his four stage triumphs, catching up on stage recorder Eddy Merckx and winning the green jersey after ten years, this is almost a fairy tale. Especially when the 36-year-old Brit had no form for several years and did not make it to the Tour de France until the last moment after the announcement of the absence of the Irish sprinter Sam Bennett.
“I’m really enjoying it. I didn’t even know a month ago that I was going to the Tour de France. I would never say that I will once again take the podium in Paris in a green jersey. who trusted me, and now we are experiencing these beautiful emotions together. “ Mark Cavendish said in a press release about his Belgian employer.
While the depreciated Briton got a great desire to pursue a career, several experts see the exact opposite. Former road cyclist and two-time cyclocross world champion Belgian Sven Nys thinks he should end his career.
“His victories on his return to the Tour de France are impressive and it is a very strong story. But that is why it is time to end his career at this point, at the top. as on the winning podium in Paris, “ quotes Svena Nysa sports website sporza.be.
Deceuninck-Quick Step team boss Patrick Lefevere has a similar opinion, who actually saved Cavendish from ending his career last October by offering a one-year contract. “I completely agree with what Sven is saying. Mark has to realize that this will never return. And even if we agree on another year, everyone will always remind him of this season and the four winning stages of the Tour de France. He would rather I would like to protect him from such situations, “ Lefevere stated.
Cavendish pointed out in a good mood: “I should probably buy Patrick a few bottles of whiskey and sit down with him. We’ll see how it all ends. First, I want to enjoy in peace what I’ve achieved over the past three weeks and consult with my family. The fact is, that I still love cycling. “
