Mark Cavendish is set to announce his retirement as a professional rider in a Giro d’Italia rest day press conference on Monday, according to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Cavendish is currently competing at the Giro d’Italia, and he is expected to confirm on Monday’s rest day that 2023 will be his final season in the pro peloton.
The Manxman remains in line to compete for Astana Qazaqstan at the Tour de France in July, where he will chase the stage victory that would break the all-time record of 34 wins that he currently shares with Eddy Merckx.
Cavendish celebrated his 38th birthday on Sunday, and the occasion was marked in Seregno before stage 15, where he was presented with a cake and serenaded with a rendition of happy birthday by the gathered crowds.
