Just realised that Mark Renshaw is on the Astana Qazaqstan  team - where he is to support Mark Cavendish.......
Ah just seen MR is there as a consultant. Hopefully that will still help. 🤞

Mark Cavendish will have a familiar figure by his side for his final Tour de France as Mark Renshaw joins Astana-Qazaqstan for the duration of the race as ‘a sprint and lead-out consultant.’

Renshaw served as Cavendish’s lead-out man for nine seasons during spells at Highroad, QuickStep and Dimension Data, earning a reputation as the peloton’s foremost exponent of the art. The Australian retired from racing at the end of the 2019 campaign. He served as safety manager for last year's World Championships in Wollongong.

“I am really thrilled to return to the Tour de France with Astana Qazaqstan Team and Mark Cavendish as a sprint and lead-out consultant,” Renshaw said on Thursday in a statement released by the team.


What a race today  :o  8)

Couldn't believe the finish - seemingly neither could  Wout van Aert.  ::)
Victor Lafay definitely deserved it.

With all his experience, Wout was well caught out! 

Roll on tomorrow - later start, 2.00 p.m.  Means that I'll have to do some chores  ;D

It was good to see Cavendish finishing up near the front. He ended up finishing 6th, not bad for somebody without a dedicated lead out man.

Cav is savvy, will follow the wheel of any1 to get where he needs to.  Lessens the stress for his Team too.

Roll out tomorrow ........ on 📺 at 2.00 p.m.

The Devil did look fit and healthy. Shame he was facing the wrong way to see the bikes!

Gosh Wout van Art  really worked hard for his team. Poor bloke looked exhausted when he finished his stint, he did well to finish at all!
