Tour de France: Mark Cavendish back at the top

Wednesday 30 June 2021 - 14:51 / Grand Tours

The setting couldn’t have been more appropriate: Fougères, the small Breton town where Mark Cavendish captured his last Grand Tour stage win for the Wolfpack, was six years later the site of one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, an incredible moment that nobody will forget.


Back at Le Tour with the Wolfpack, the Manxman rolled back the years in spectacular fashion and sprinted to a sensational victory that unleashed a touching outpouring of emotion.
