The 2.HC stag﷽e race will be Cavendish's first road race since the Tour de France and marks his return to th💮e road after winning silver in the omnium. Cavendish will have Mark Renshaw and Bernie Eisel as his dedicated lead out men in his bid for an 11th career stage win at the race.
"Let's see if we can win 1 or 2 stages with Mark Cavendish and play a role in GC. We definitely going🔜 to try and show the jersey by winning stages, going in breakaway and by having fun out there," Eisel said of the team ambition.
Eisel will also perform the role of road captain which becomes even more important for the nine-stage ไrace with just six riders per team♌.
"I am really looking forward to racing Tour of Britain again," he said. "After looking through the stages, this year's race will probably be the toughest one yet. The last stages have 3000 to 4000m of climbing, and that's in Britain so you know it's just going to be up and down all day. 6 man teams, it will be very tough to control t🧸he race and I think wꦑe will see the overall lead changing hands many times."
The race starts in Glasgow on September 4, finishing in London on September after a split stage in Bristol that includes a mor♓ning time t🌳rial.
"Semi stages are also always very hard, a super hard stage and a time trial on the same day, that is going to be a game changer," he added. "I am looking forward to finding some good shape for the Worlds and also to bu🌊ild up for the first big goal, Eneco Tour by racing here at Tour of Britain."
