I have a house in a small town in Tuscany where everybody knows and looks out for each other. That’s a similar mentality to on the Isle of Man. Mark Cavendish Read Quote
I want to provide the best possible life for my daughter. I want her to be so proud of me. You know, I never rode just for myself. I did it for my team as well. But this feels different. This feels like I’m riding my heart out for her. Mark Cavendish Read Quote
I heal pretty well and I know if I crash on the first day of the Tour de France, I’ve got to get up and get on with it. Mark Cavendish Read Quote

Training-wise, I don’t have an extreme plan I stick to. I know what I have to do, I know the goal. But it’s not really structured. That’s the beauty of road cycling. It all depends on the conditions on the day and where you are in the world. Mark Cavendish Read Quote
When I was younger, I didn’t really train for the sprint – I trained to get over the mountains. I have to train it now I’m getting older. But the sprint is more born, rather than made. Mark Cavendish Read Quote
