In 2023, he endured a crash that forced him to leave the Tour in an ambulance, underscoring the challenges and risks in the sport.

The British cyclist’s resilience and perseverance have been evident throughout his career, with notable victories and setbacks shaping his journey in the cycling world. While Cavendish’s success has been remarkable, his humility and respect for fellow cyclists like Girmay demonstrate his sportsmanship and camaraderie within the peloton. For fans and cycling enthusiasts, Cavendish’s record-breaking stage win serves as a testament to his talent and enduring passion for the sport. As the Tour de France continues, Cavendish’s achievement adds to the excitement and drama of the prestigious race, showcasing the thrill and unpredictability of professional cycling.
