Cav: Thanks for Your Support
Cav has said he is retiring after this season
Mark Cavendish has thanked fans for their support after a broken collarbone ended his Tour de France dreams.
The video of Cav has been shared on his Insta account.
Cav has said he is retiring after this season, but his team Astana Qazaqstan have very much left the door open for the Manx Missile to change his mind.
In his video, he outlined that his surgery has been made slightly more complicated by the pins in his shoulder from a previous crash.
He said: ‘Yep, fractured right clavicle. Just out of surgery to plate it up. It’ll take a bit longer than the standard couple of weeks for a collarbone, just due to the screws that were in there from a previous injury. But we’re still only looking at a number of weeks, so happy days! ?
‘I’ve been absolutely bowled over by the love and support of everyone. Fans, colleagues, family friends. Thank you all so so so much. It obviously hasn’t been the ideal way to finish @letourdefrance, but that’s part of the beauty and brutality of cycling! But I’ve felt incredibly lifted thanks to all you beautiful souls living my journey with me.’
