Mark Cavendish confirms he will retire after Singapore Tour de France criterium

From there, we understood that the Isle of Man missile was heading towards the exit, that at 39 years old it would not be back, at the end of an otherwise transparent season, and that the time of the retirement, postponed for a year after his abandonment in the Grande Boucle in 2023, was finally here. At the end of October, on stage at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, he recounted during the presentation of the Tour 2025 route that, for the first time, he had been able to enjoy a family vacation, with his four children, without having to think about what comes next, without the stress of restarting.
