In the latest episode of the Cycling News Podcast, we look back at the Giro d'Italia and Ghent-Wevelgem and discuss the future of Mark Cavendish, who told the world that Ghent-Wevelgem may be his last race. We also hear from Mads Pedersen, Jack Haig, and Alex Dowsett. Let's start with Cavendish. Cavendish told reporters that Ghent-Wevelgem may be his last race as a professional rider. In an emotional scene, the British rider said little else, but with his contract with Bahrain McLaren ending and no assurances of an extension, this could be the last for the sprinter who has won 30 stages in many races, including the Tour de France and Milan-San Remo. Will this be his last race?

Daniel Benson and Ed Pickering discuss Cavendish's huge impact on the sport, his major accomplishments, what an interview was like, and how his personality and fast finishes were compatible.

He also looks back at the Giro d'Italia before the latest COVID-19 results were released and analyzes the finish of the men's version of Ghent-Wevelgem.

In the next podcast, we will have an exclusive interview with Trek-Segafredo's Elisa Longo Borghini and a preview of the Vuelta a España.
