Mark Cavendish gives up in last Tour, screw in shoulder comes loose after broken collarbone. End of story for Mark Cavendish?

His last Tour de France ends with a major letdown. Mark Cavendish (38) crashed heavily at about 60 kilometers from the finish in Limoges, breaking his collarbone. The 34-time stage winner in the Tour will stop at the end of this year. 

Is Mark Cavendish's era in the Tour de France was finally over?

Cavendish was the biggest casualty in a crash in the belly of the pack. The Briton grabbed his shoulder and seemed to groan in pain.

He still scrambled to his feet, but didn't get back on his bike. Unfortunately, the ambulance was his final destination.

After the stage, his team Astana confirmed that Cavendish did indeed break the collarbone of his right shoulder. The impact also loosened a screw that was there from an earlier fall in the 2017 Tour.

Did he run his last race?

Yesterday Cavendish finished 2nd in Bordeaux. He reached out his hand to a 35th victory in the Tour, which would make him the record holder alone.

But it won't come. He continues to share the record of 34 wins with Eddy Merckx.

Cavendish announced during the Giro that he will retire after this season. Unless this abrupt ending would change his mind.

* Update News

After Mark Cavendish crashed out of the Tour de France on Saturday with a broken collarbone, his team manager Alexander Vinokourov has told French newspaper L’Équipe that Astana Qazaqstan would like the Briton to postpone his retirement for a year and race on in 2024. 

Cavendish, 38, signed for Astana Qazaqstan at the start of this season following months of speculation over where he would race in 2023, and won the final stage of this year’s Giro d’Italia in Rome.

Vinokourov told the newspaper that it was up to Cavendish to make a decision about fighting on for a 35th Tour de France stage victory in 2024, and that as yet the idea had not been suggested to him directly, but that the team were “ready to offer him” this possibility.

On Sunday morning Astana Qazaqstan posted a Tweet showing Cavendish, after spending the night in hospital, back at the team hotel saying goodbye one by one to his teammates prior to flying home.

L’Équipe reported that “even if the idea that Cavendish could put off his retirement” – announced for the end of this season during the Giro d’Italia – “was not yet brought up, it’s already in the air.”

“Yes, we’d like Mark to continue in 2024 and race his 15th Tour de France to win that 35th stage,” Vinokourov said. “I myself broke my femur in 2011 in the Tour, and that should have been my last year. But I didn’t want to end my career like that.”

“I kept going and I worked hard to the point where I could win at the Olympic Games in London the following year. Mark has the same mentality, the same willpower to achieve his final goal. We’re ready to offer him that chance. But it’s up to him to decide.”

Last evening after returning from the hospital @MarkCavendish visited the team’s hotel to say goodbye to his teammates. Today he’ll fly home. A very fast recovery, good luck, thank you for the great moments and see you soon.
