Cav Tells 3FM He Wants The Green Jersey Back In The Tour De France

Manxman Mark Cavendish is gearing himself up for the Tour De France starting this Saturday.

Last year the 25 year old took a record 6 stage wins in the Tour.

He became the most successful Brit of all time at the event, and was the first ever to hold on to the green jersey for two days.

However, he lost the jersey last year to rival Thor Hushovd. Cav says he stills thinks that disqualification was unfair.

Cavs points were removed after he was accused of pushing Hushovd too close to the barrier. This topic is still a sore one for Mark who has told 3FM he has been preparing all season to get that jersey back. He said there are many flat stages that suit his sprint style, and he has been preparing to get back what he lost last year. (audio above).
