British cyclist Mark Cavendish is set to compete in his final professional race at the two-day Tour de France Criterium in early November, race organisers have said.

Cavendish, 39, nicknamed the “Manx Missile”, amassed 165 victories, including a record 35 stage wins at the Tour de France, and has not competed since achieving that milestone in July.

The Isle of Man native also won an individual silver medal on the track at the 2016 Rio Olympics and claimed three world titles in the Madison discipline.

Cavendish was set to retire at the end of the 2023 season but decided to delay it by a year after crashing at last year’s Tour de France.

The Tour de France Criterium will be held in Singapore from Nov. 9-10.
