Prolific sprinter to re-join former mentor Rod Ellingworth, reports Alex Ballinger
Mark Cavendish has finally announced his transfer to Bahrain-Merida for 2020, which Cycling Weekly reported last month.
The British sprinter, who looked strong at the London Six Day last week, will make the switch from Dimension Data and will be joining his old coach and mentor Rod Ellingworth, who has taken over as team principal at Bahrain.
Cavendish, the winner of 30 Tour stages, will also be re-partnering with British motorsport company McLaren, which is now 50 per cent backer of the Middle-East-based WorldTour team. Cavendish and McLaren worked together to design the Specialized bikes he rode at HTC-Highroad.
