Patrick Lefevere told about Mark Cavendish's future. The Etixx-Quick Step general manager has confirmed that nothing is planned about the sprinter. Manxman's 2016 team remains unknown according to Cyclingnews.

"I think that it's 90 per cent chance that he leaves us. I have not met his agent since the Tour and there is no contract on the table", Lefevere explained. He met Cavendish’s representatives during the Tour de France. "I’ll tell you the truth that I don’t know right now. There’s not much to talk about, there’s not much there. Hopefully there’s something there in the next few weeks."

According to some rumours, Mark Cavendish is linked to a few teams including Trek Factory and MTN Qhubeka.
