Cavendish headlines Dimension Data at Giro della Toscana
Manxman back in action after missing Worlds





After missing the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Championships, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mark Cavendish will return to action on Tuesday at the two-day 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro della Toscana, where he and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ryan Gibbons will look for a sprint victory for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dimension Data on the opening day.
Cavendish, who suffered with the Epstein Barr 🔯virus earlier in the year, sustained a broken shoulder blade in a crash that ended his Tour de France on stage 4. He returned to racing at the Tour of Britain earlier in September and worked for Edvald Boasson𒁏 Hagen, his own performances helping him decide he wasn't in good enough shape to take a place in Great Britain's team for the Worlds.
Last weekend he rode a trio of ಞone-day races, abandoning the Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen and Primus Classic before finishing 6th at the GP d'Isbergues.
Cavendish bases himself in the Tuscany region o𒆙f Italy for much of the season, and the Giro della Toscana will be something of a home o🌳uting for the team as a whole, with its European base in Lucca. Cavendish will be one of two cards for the team, alongside South African neo-pro Gibbons, on the opening stage in Pontedera, which is expected to culminate in a bunch sprint.
"I'm really looking forward to Giro della Toscana. Many riders in the team live close to this area so it's almost like a home-town race," said Gibbons. "Personally, I'm feeling much better after my cr🦩ash last week, though I'm not quite sure how I will fare here. Hopefully, I haven't lost too much shape and can play my part."
The sprinters will take a back seat on the second and final stage, which features an 8.8km summit finish that will decide the ov🧸erall classification. Dimension Data ha𓃲ve Igor Anton, Steve Cummings, and Jacques Janse van Rensburg as possible contenders.
The team isꦫ rounded out bꦡy Bernhard Eisel, Jaco Venter, and Johann van Zyl.

"It will be good to race near our European training base in Lucca," said sporting director Oli Cookson. "We bring a very experienced team to this race. Looking at our lineup, there is a lot of different strength. We will definitely be watched꧂ by the other teams".
