Mark Cavendish will compete at the National Road Race Championships in Abergavenny, Wales, later this month.

The 24-year-old Manxman joins an impressive field tackling the 160km course on Sunday, June 28 around the roads of Monmouthshire.

It includes Geraint Thomas and Bradley Wiggins, along with 2007 champion David Millar, defending champion Rob Hayles and Athens bronze medallist Chris Newton.

Olympic and world champion Nicole Cooke will defend her women's title the day before the men's race.
