"Mark Cavendish's Potential Tour de France Comeback: Injury, Controversy, and Retirement Reconsidered"

Astana-Qazaqstan has offered Mark Cavendish a contract extension to ride in the Tour de France next year, despite his planned retirement at the end of this season. The team's general manager, Alexander Vinokourov, expressed his desire for Cavendish to continue racing and win his 35th stage in the 2024 Tour de France. Cavendish, who recently suffered a broken collarbone, has equalled the record for stage wins at the Tour de France with 34 victories. Vinokourov, who himself overcame injury to win an Olympic gold medal, believes Cavendish shares the same determination and is ready to give him the opportunity, but the decision ultimately lies with Cavendish.
