📣Announcement📣
The greatest lead out rider of all time & true legend of the sport,
@Mark_Renshaw
will retire at the end of this season!😢Congrats on a magnificent career Mark! 👏👏👏
Mark's full statement ➡️
In a split second I was laying in the middle of the roundabout. I knew as soon as I landed my pelvis was fractured. Cars vs Bike never ends well for the bike. I’m devastated, for my family, for my teammates, for our sponsors. I know I’m lucky so I’ll work harder to be back better
Congratulations
@MarkCavendish
on the announcement, I’m looking forward to July and watching your final
@LeTour
to see how this story really ends. We had some amazing times together mate, proud to have committed and given my all for some of your victories. Enjoy the next 6months!
2nd one day and out the next, this sport can be so brutal. I’m so proud to be a part of that history and played a small part in helping chase history. It didn’t work out but Cav gave it absolutely everything. The best sprinter we have ever seen.
What a weekend in Britain to have my beautiful wife Kristina with Will, Olly and Maggie there to watch my last race was something really special. Im so proud of you Mrs R ❤️ and thank you for all your hard work and dedication. We are four lucky kids to have you!
It’s now been two weeks since I was hit by a car as I exited a round-about here in Bathurst. At least I’m now able to get around the house with crutches but it’s still bloody painful. I’ve been wonderfully looked after by my beautiful family and friends.
Here it is! My new ride has arrived just in time for summer and I love it! The new

Only twice since 2002 have I not been part of the

A big thank you to everyone who helped me on Saturday. Also to everyone who has sent me messages and been in contact. Hopefully I’m back an action for

Today was the end of the

A little surreal to be on

Its been a blast. I’m very privilege to be part of

to help make a difference in Africa. Also a big Merci
@dougryd
for your trust over the years ✋
What a roller coaster of a day yesterday, from pre-race nerves to the anticipation before a sprint.
The final jockeying of positioning to then hitting out being past before the line. My voice was done cheering for the
@AstanaQazTeam
boys and
@MarkCavendish
Excited to be selected for the
@giroditalia
I’ll be giving it everything to help get
@TeamDiData
boys up for some good results. Flights from Nice to Lyon then Bologna to start the Giro off.
Hi
@velofacts
Thank you for the career stats. Love looking back on these numbers from the last 19 years. Check out those teammates! Cav,Burnie,Tony,Julien,Jay,Bert,Lazlo,Matteo,Yannick and Eddy! 🙌
Traveling to Glasgow for the
@TourofBritain
that starts tomorrow. Always a hard 8days of racing with only 6riders a team. Going to be a fun week with
@TeamDiData
Flying to the UK this morning for
@letouryorkshire
My first race back after sorting my sinuses out, hopefully seen the last of those damn infections now. Bring on some racing!
@TeamDiData
A big thank you to everyone
@NTTProCycling
for the last 4 years. Good luck for 2020 & look forward to seeing everyone again soon. Proud to have helped with the
@Qhubeka
charity and help change lives with bikes.
Not the start I wanted here in Tour of Slovenia. A nice slide on my backside and elbow into the gutter, I’m going to be sore tomorrow morning but nothing to serious. Hopefully another sprint chance.
Very happy to be back racing with the
@TeamDiData
boys today in Belgium at Driedaagse Brugge-De Panne. Legs exploded in the final but that’s what I need. Looking forward to the next one now!

@kristoframon
I think it’s crap. I’d be happy to never see one again during a bike race. Stop taking photos of it and promoting those actions.

Hurts to watch huge crashes likes this, Filip Maciejuk deserves being thrown out of the race. I’d give him a couple of extra weeks out to think about that move and hopefully prevent other young riders doing the same.
