Cav’s Netflix Special

Manx Missile Mark Cavendish is to receive his own Netflix special, documenting his remarkable rise and amazing career.

Cav told The Times that production is already underway on the documentary.

When asked if the opening of that film could be the Manx Missile winning a 35th Tour de France stage to make himself the lone record holder for Tour stage wins (a record he currently shares with eddy Merckx), he told Dickinson: ‘The goal is winning. Not one particular win, it’s winning.’

Cav signed with Astana Qazaqstan in January after a previous commitment to B&B Hotels team fell apart.

He will make his debut for Astana this week in the Tour of Oman, which gets underway on Saturday.
