Britain’s Mark Cavendish, the most successful sprinter in cycling history, will retire after racing in the Tour de France Criterium in Singapore on Sunday.
The 39-year-old from the Isle of Man, who said in May that this season would be his last, broke the Tour de France record for stage wins with his 35th victory in July.
Cavendish won the road world title in 2011 and twice won the green jersey – awarded to the rider with the most points – at the Tour.
He has won 165 races since the start of his professional career in 2005, including 17 stages in the Giro d’Italia and three in the Vuelta a Espana, and received a knighthood in October.
On the track, Cavendish won omnium silver at the 2016 Olympics and was a three-time madison world champion.
