It appears that Mark Cavendish is gearing up to participate in the Tour of Turkey, scheduled from October 8th to 15th of this year. The event’s organizers announced today via Twitter that the 38-year-old British cyclist will be part of the starting lineup for the competition.
As of now, neither Cavendish nor his team, the Astana Qazaqstan Team, have shared specifics about his forthcoming schedule, refraining from divulging details about his involvement in the Tour of Turkey or other competitions.
Cavendish has been out of competition since the Tour de France, where he crashed during the 8th stage and had to withdraw. The Manx Missile was aiming for his 35th stage victory at the Tour de France, which would have made him the sole record holder for the highest number of stage wins.
