Mark Cavendish was the most dominant field sprinter last year, having won over a dozen races before coming into the 2009 Tour de France, where he won 6 stages during the 3 week race. This season, however, we've seen a much quieter Cavendish, with only 3 wins before coming to France, caused mainly by sitting out 2 months because of a dental infection, and struggling to regain fitness ever since. Interesting to note for perhaps a not so successful tour campaign for the Boy Racer is the change in his lead out train from last year. Gone are George Hincapie, now on Team BMC, Adam Hansen with a broken collarbone from a dog running into the course, and Mick Rogers, who is now conserving his energy for GC hopes.
