His Quick-Step team, which revealed the composition of its group on Monday May 2, insisted on the presence of Cavendish, joint holder of the record for stage victories in the Tour (34) since last summer and winner 15 times on the Giro between 2008 and 2013. “Cav”, who has three successes this season, should celebrate his 37th birthday during the race (May 21). The runner from the Isle of Man will have the Dane Michael Morkov as his “launcher”.
