Mark Cavendish is out of the Tour de France after crashing during stage eight on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Widely regarded as cycling’s greatest sprinter of all time, Cavendish came into this year’s Tour level on 34 stage wins with Belgian legend Eddy Merckx.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jasper Philipsen denied Cavendish a record-breaking 35th stage win <\/span>during stage seven on Friday.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Cavendish was involved in an innocuous crash with Pello Bilbao 60km from the finish of Saturday’s 200.7km transitional stage between Libourne and Limoges.<\/span><\/p>\n

He suffered a suspected broken collarbone and went into an ambulance, with his team Astana Qazaqstan confirming he was forced to abandon the race.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tour added: “Heartbreaking for the Manx Missile.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Cavendish is the fifth rider to abandon this year’s Tour after Enric Mas, Richard Carapaz, Jacopo Guarnieri and Luis Leon Sanchez, with all those withdrawals due to crashes.<\/span><\/p>\n

It marks the seventh time from 14 appearances that Cavendish, who made his Tour debut in 2007, has not finished the race.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a two-year absence, and having not won a Tour stage since 2016, he returned in 2021 to win four and move level with five-time Tour winner Merckx.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
