13 years after his most memorable triumph, Cavendish tied Swirl Merckx’s record of 34 Visit stage wins in 2021. He was disregarded for last year’s opposition.

After the previous best on the planet expressed in May during the Giro d’Italia that he will resign from cycling toward the finish of the time, this year was his last an open door to turn into the undisputed record holder.

Cavendish crashed out of the current year’s race, joining Enric Mas, Richard Carapaz, Jacopo Guarnieri, and Luis Leon Sanchez as the fifth rider to pull out.

Cavendish joined the Astana-Qazaqstan group in January to expand his celebrated lifetime by one season in the expectations that he would add something like another stage triumph to his aggregate. Cavendish was not picked by his previous Speedy Step Alpha Vinyl crew for last year’s Visit de France.

He two times brought back home the green shirt for best runner in the Visit de France. He has won stages in every one of the three Thousand Visit rivalries — the Visit de France, Giro d’Italia, and Spanish Vuelta — and in 2011 he was delegated title holder.
