Mark Cavendish has shrugged off questions about his form for next Saturday’s Milan-San Remo, insisting he is feeling good, despite missing out in the two sprint finishes at the Tirreno-Adriatico.
Cavendish has one victory to his name this season: the final stage at the Tour of Oman.
He proved he had the speed and sprinting tactics to beat Thor Hushovd, Andrea Guardini and Theo Bos that day but sat up in both sprints at the Tirreno-Adriatico after losing position and his lead out.
Afterwards, Cavendish admitted he was tired but said his build-up for Milan-San Remo was on track.
