Manx cycling star Mark Cavendish has admitted the current dispute between Tour de France organisers and the sports world governing body could seriously disrupt his season.
The row has already forced Cavendish to pull out of the Paris-Nice stage race, the traditional European season opener, after the International Cycling Union threatened bans of up to six months for competitors taking part.
Cav says if the situation remains unresolved, he may be forced to choose between Le Tour and the Beijing Olympics:-
Michael Dunlop 'just searching for more wins' in 2026
Superbike race to kickstart TT 2026 race week
TT Race Day 1: No race action due to weather
Sam West withdraws from remainder of TT 2026
