The Tour Colombia names Cavendish third chief of Zipaquirá. The 38-year-old Englishman rejects the title obtained after obtaining the 163rd victory of his career in the city of Forero and Egan Bernal.

“The sprint is a republic” says Cavendish after his victory in Colombia. After achieving victory on its streets, in front of the university library, Mark Cavendish can well proclaim himself the proud chief. All he needs to do is win a victory in the Tour de France in five months. It would finally break the tie with Eddy Merckx.
