His recovery is slightly more complicated due to a previous injury to the collarbone during the 2014 Tour.
“It’s a little bit more complicated because of those pins,” Cavendish said. “Nothing to worry about, the difference is it’s not going to be a week to recover, it’s a few weeks. We’re all good.”
“It obviously hasn’t been the ideal way to finish the Tour de France, but that’s part of the beauty and brutality of cycling.”
“I wanted to say a massive thank you for all the well wishes, all the love and support – it’s been wicked, I really appreciate it.”
