Britain's sprint king Mark Cavendish announced on Monday (May 22) that he will end his 17-year career as a professional cyclist at the conclusion of the season.

During his illustrious career Cavendish racked up 161 victories, including 34 at the Tour de France to equal the record of Belgian great Eddy Merckx.

Cavendish made the announcement during a press conference organised by his Astana-Qazaqstan team during the rest day at the Giro d'Italia in Coccaglio, a day after his 38th birthday.

"I've absolutely loved racing every kilometre of this race so far, so I feel it's the perfect time to say its my final Giro d'Italia and 2023 will be my final season as a professional cyclist," Cavendish said.
