Scuppers hopes to take the record this year, but could he race next year?
Mark Cavendish has completed surgery on his collarbone after he crashed out in stage 8 of the Tour de France earlier this week.
The fracture is believed to have occurred in a place he already had pins from an injury that happened a decade ago.
The Manx Missile was denied the chance to make history by breaking the record for the most stage wins - but there are hopes he may postpone retirement as a result.
Speaking to fans on Instagram, he says it won't be a quick fix:
