Will Cavendish Prioritise the Olympics?

Dave Brailsford, the man behind the rise of British cycling on the world stage has signalled Mark Cavendish will prioritise the Olympic road race this summer.

Cavendish will be defending the sprinter’s green jersey he won in Paris last year before taking part in the Olympic road race where he will hope to get Great Britain off to a flying start by winning Gold.

Brailsford who divides his time between being Team Sky’s general manager and British Cycling’s performance director said, “I think just to say you’re going to give each one equal significance and try to win everything is probably the recipe for failure

“What we really need to do is to look at them and say: ‘If you just have one, which one would you take?’

Dave would not reveal the targets selected although many people are suggesting the Manx Missile might never have a better chance to win an Olympic medal.
