Cavendish pleased to be riding Milan San Remo
“Uncertainty about the route of the Sanremo left Mark’s program open until just a few days ago,” explains Sport and Development Manager Rolf Aldag. “Therefore, after Strade Bianche and Tirreno-Adriatico races, Mark will be in the starting lineup for the Milano-Sanremo.

Without the Pompeiana climb, the route is back to being suitable to the skills of athletes like Mark. After Sanremo, Mark will participate in Gent-Wevelgem. The Flemish classic also underwent a slight variation to the route that could favor the arrival in a sprint. Mark’s classics campaign will then pass through Driedaagse van De Panne and will finish with Scheldeprijs, a race which Mark already won three times.”
“I’m very happy to be riding in Milano-Sanremo, on the same route where I watched my heroes race and win when I was a kid,” said Cavendish. “In fact, the edition I won in 2009 featured the climb on Le Manie.”
“It will be fun and stimulating to ride on this route, which is which is making this race the only Classics monument for the sprinters. I’m also very happy to race in Belgium.”
“I’ve never won Gent-Wevelgem. The route for this race has gone back to how it used to be, too. Driedaagse van De Panne and Scheldeprijs will complete my ‘Flemish’ schedule, during which I can also count on a squad that’s as strong on this type of route as Omega Pharma – Quick-Step.”
