(Reuters) - Britain's Mark Cavendish believes he may have competed in the final race of his career following the conclusion of Gent-Wevelgem on Sunday. The Bahrain-Mclaren sprinter was part of the breakaway during the 232.5 kilometres race between Ypres and Wevelgem and went on to finish 74th. Speaking to Sporza in a post-race interview, an emotional Cavendish said: "That's perhaps the last race of my career now." Cavendish's comment hinting at retirement came as a surprise because he is committed to line up at Scheldeprijs on Wednesday. Cavendish won the Scheldeprijs race on his debut in 2007.
