Cavendish: 50 wins and counting
When Mark Cavendish rocketed over the line in St Louis to take the opening stage of the Tour of Missouri on Monday, he brought his career total of wins to 50.
In just three short years, the 24 year old has established himself as Britain's most successful road rider in history - and there's more to come.
Earlier this year Cavendish passed Chris Boardman to take the top slot in Cycling Weekly's all-time list of British pro winners.
Since 2007, the 'Manx Missile' has won ten stages of the Tour de France, five stages of the Giro d'Italia and won the Milan-San Remo classic among many others.
This year, Cavendish has take a victory in every stage race he has ridden - a factor that is solid gold to professional teams and their sponsors. He's won in Qatar, America, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland. Cavendish is the very definition of a bankable star.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
