He will help replace Peter Sagan as Bora-Hansgrohe pivots from the Classics to the Grand Tours and he is keen to move on from his disastrous 2021 season. If Jumbo-Visma give him the opportunity, he could well win the green points jersey at the 2022 Tour de France, further confirming his broad range of talents. Cavendish is due to start his 2022 season at the UAE Tour but could also ride the Tour of Oman before that. He will likely take on every 2022 sprint opportunity with that mentality, knowing he needs to re-establish his role as one of the fastest pure sprinters in the peloton. That could become the story of so many 2022 sprint finishes, especially after a rolling parcours.
