Many of us may have had new jumpers for Christmas; Mark Cavendish clearly has some new kit. The World Road Race champion has uploaded the first pictures of himself wearing his new Sky team kit which he is now entitles to sport since his contract with his new team began on January 1. As much as he may be enjoying the new rainbow jersey he won’t be wearing it into battle until the Tour of Qatar (February 5-10); he has elected to skip the Santos Tour Down Under (in which he crashed spectacularly in 2011) but has, via Twitter, set out some clear goals for 2012: “What to do this year?” He tweeted, “Remain the fastest. Become the greatest.”
