Mark Cavendish eyes more Tour success
British sprinter Mark Cavendish has earmarked eight stages as ones he could win in next year’s Tour de France.
The 24-year-old won an impressive six stages in 2009 to take his overall tally to 10 from three Tours.
Cavendish, who rides for Team Columbia, said: “I counted five definite sprint stages I could win and maybe eight.
“There are three in the opening week, so I’ll try to grab as many wins as I can to get in the green jersey and then survive through weeks two and three.”
The Manx rider finished second behind Norway’s Thor Hushovd in the race for the green jersey in 2009.
