Mark Cavendish: Spoty lifetime award

“How can I tell my kids not to give up on what they do if I stop because it’s hard? Of course it’s hard. It’s the Tour de France! I’ve never been worried about people seeing me suffer – even if most guys I raced with didn’t want to be seen suffering on a bad climbing day. They just stopped riding. But I would never do that.”
