- Rider has had little chance to prove form and fitness
- Ellingworth denies rumours of Froome switch talks
Mark Cavendish’s chances of racing at this year’s Tour de France have been hurt by the coronavirus pandemic, the Bahrain-McLaren team principal, Rod Ellingworth, has admitted.
Cavendish is hoping to get an opportunity to add to his tally of 30 Tour stage victories if the race goes ahead on its rescheduled start date of 29 August. But the 35-year-old, who joined his old coach Ellingworth at Bahrain-McLaren on a one-year deal after two seasons dogged by illness and injury, has had little chance to prove his form and fitness with racing on hold since mid-March.
