Cavendish set for Hong Kong World Cup

British Cycling chief Shane Sutton confirmed Cavendish's participation to Cyclingnews with the 30-year-old currently in Tenerife for altitude training with the team.

Nothing is certain for Cavendish with commitments set to be split across the road and track during next year's campaign – not least of all his efforts in next year's Tour de France. But British Cycling coach Brian Stephens believes Cavendish is making all the right moves to be selected and has made his intentions clear with some solid work.

"Mark has trained at Manchester but this is his first camp away with us. He's doing well and he's just started training for the season," Stephens told Cyclingnews.

"He's coming off a break but he's putting all the hard yards in. He's enthusiastic and working hard. He's getting the basic kilometres back into his legs and he's getting the rides done and doing them with a smile on his face. It's a really hard camp here but he's stepped up the mark here."
