Recently, the Quick-Step team officially announced the specific lineup for the 2022 Tour de France . Unfortunately, on the list, the two famous players of the Quick-Step team Cavendish (Mark Cavendish) and Alaphilippe ( Julian Alaphilippe) is not on the list, which will mean that both famous players will miss this Tour de France.
Cavendish was the green jersey holder of the last Tour de France and won the British National Road Championship this year. However, Cavendish was not included in the list announced by the Quick-Step team.
Alaphilippe suffered a punctured lung, fractured ribs and fractured scapula due to a crash in the race at the beginning of the year. After two months of physical recovery, his physical condition has not been able to return to its best condition. Under such circumstances, Alaphilippe still finished 13th in the British National Road Championships. However, the team still cited his physical condition as an excuse and ultimately did not choose him to appear on the Quick-Step team's entry list.
Fabio Jakobsen is a Dutch driver. His condition has been on the rise this year. He was very brave in the first half of the competition and won 10 games. With the existing riders in the team, the Quick-Step team finally chose Jacobsen as the only sprint driver to participate in this Tour de France. Cavendish will serve as a substitute for the team. Only if a driver on the team has an emergency and is unable to participate in the race, a substitute can take over.
Quick-Step Team Sports Director Tom Steele said that the team needs to take into account the comprehensive situation of each driver. In order to build a team with a balanced skill set in all aspects, we made such a difficult choice. It might also be a safer option. And the team will conduct special training and develop detailed tactics around the final selected sprinter Jacobson.
Cavendish also said on social media: "I'm sad that I can't defend the green jersey and write more history in cycling. But as usual, I will cheer for my teammates every day. Stay safe and wish you the best. Good luck, boys."
Alaphilippe also said: "I am disappointed not to participate in this year's Tour de France. It is very sad for me to miss the opportunity to wear the rainbow jersey at home in France. It was a difficult decision. At the same time, I completely understand it, because I don't want to appear at the starting point without my best condition. "
This means that Cavendish has no chance to break the record this year. He is 37 years old. Cavendish has won 34 times in the Tour de France and tied Merckx's all-time record. Many fans are looking forward to Panye appearing again in this year's Tour de France and breaking this record. Unfortunately, I already knew this result before the Tour de France even started, and it was inevitable that I would feel a little regretful!
Just this month, Cavendish won the 2022 British National Championship and won the national championship again after ten years. This is already the case for this year’s Tour de France, but we firmly believe that Panye Cavendish will continue to fight. We look forward to Panye appearing in next year or more Tour de France races, and being able to personally refresh and create more history. Record it!
Let us
pray and make wishes for Pan Ye,
together!
See you in the Tour de France next year!
