Originally a track cyclist specialising in the madison, points race, and scratch race disciplines, he has competed on the road since 2006, rising to prominence as a sprinter, widely considered one of the best of his era. On the track Cavendish won gold in the Madison at the 2005 and 2008 world championships riding for Great Britain, with Rob Hayles and Bradley Wiggins respectively, and in the scratch race at the 2006 Commonwealth Games riding for Isle of Man. As a road cyclist, Cavendish achieved eleven wins in his first professional season, passing the record held by Alessandro Petacchi. Cavendish has won twenty-six Tour de France stages putting him third on the all-time list and fourth on the all-time list of Grand Tour stage winners with forty-four victories. He won the road race at the 2011 road world championships, becoming the second British rider to do so after Tom Simpson in 1965. Other notable wins include the 2009 Milan–San Remo classic and the points classification in all three of the grand tours: the 2010 Vuelta a España, the 2011 Tour de France, and the 2013 Giro d'Italia. In 2012 he became the first person to win the final Champs-Élysées stage in the Tour de France in four consecutive years. In the Queen's Birthday Honours 2011, Cavendish was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire ''for services to British Cycling''. He won the 2011 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award and in 2012 was named the Tour de France's best sprinter of all time by French newspaper ''L'Equipe''. Since 2013 he has been ranked first on the ''Cycling Weekly'' all-time ranking of British professional riders. ==Early life and amateur career== Cavendish was born in Douglas, Isle of Man, the son of David also from the Isle, and Adele from Yorkshire, England. He began riding BMX at an early age, racing at the National Sports Centre in Douglas. He said: "I was always riding a bike, getting dropped in little races."〔Procycling, UK, October 2008, p59〕 "My mum would laugh at me, and I said it was because all my mates had mountain bikes, so I asked for a mountain bike for my thirteenth birthday and got one. The very next day I went out and beat everyone."〔 It was at that time that Cavendish met David Millar at a race on the Isle of Man. Cavendish said he was inspired by Millar. Cavendish worked in a bank for two years after leaving school to earn enough money for an attempt at a professional career.〔L'Équipe, France, 19 July 2008〕 He won two gold medals at the 2003 Island Games.〔(iiga.org )〕〔(bbc.com - Island Games 2015: Who will be next to follow these stars )〕 He won gold in the madison with Rob Hayles at the 2005 track world championships in Los Angeles. They had not raced together before. They finished one lap ahead of the field to claim the gold medal, ahead of the Dutch and Belgian teams, Cavendish's first world title. Cavendish also won the 2005 European championship points race. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Cavendish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
