168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mark Cavendish is unlikely to ride the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France this year and al💞ready ‘blew’ his chance to break the record for stage wins last year, according to his own QuickStep-AlphaVinyl director, Brian Holm. 

In a blunt take on one of his own riders during an interview with , Holm suggested that Fabio Jakobsen was the faster sprinter at the ꦫteam and that ‘most🐷’ people would select him over Cavendish for the Tour. 

Cavendish signed for QuickStep in 2021 and resurrected his career, returning from three winless years to strike four times at the Touꦐr de France and draw level wꦺith Eddy Merckx’s record of 34 stage wins. However, after signing a one-year contract extension, his spot at this year’s Tour is in doubt, with Jakobsen expected to be favoured. 

"That would be 🅘slightly difficult," Holm said of Cavendish’s chances of returning to the Tour this year. "Because he signed with QuickStep, and we’ve got Fabio Jakobsen  and that would make it less easy for him. Fabio is the future of QuickStep."

Holm insisted that Cavendish could win for the team this July, and make history by breaking Merckx’s record, but indicated there 𝓡was little room for sentim🧸ent as he described Jakobsen as the faster finisher.

"For sure he could win. He could probably break the💯 record, but in a professional team… I guess if they sprint t𝔉hree times, maybe Fabio would win two of them. I think most would take Fabio."

In perhaps his bluntest comment on the matter, H🅘olm suggested that Cavendish had already blown his shot at the outright stage win record. Having won four stages last year to equal Merckx, he was the favourite for the final sprint on the Champs Elysées - where he has won four times before - but could only finish third. 

"He would make his own life a bit more easy if he’d won on🐬 the Champs Elysées," Holm said. "He got a good chance last yeꦓar on the Champs Elysées and he blew it. That’s life."

QuickStep-AlphaVinyl's selection for the Tour de France is not yet final and Cavendish is not yet out of the running, but he is rac♔ing to the end of the Giro d'Italia while🍸 Jakobsen is on a more traditional Tour de France racing programme. 

The pair, along with Lefevere, have both mace comments on the matter in what is one of the biggest stories♔ of the 2022 season but Cavendish has alrea🎉dy sought to play down any sense of internal rivalry, expressing 'fears' that his relationship with Jakobsen would deteriorate as a result.
