The Abu Dhabi Tour teams trained at the Yas Marina circuit on Tuesday.
A lucky winner of an online competition sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Emirate Motor Company – Carl Grzegorzek, Air Traffic Controller at the Abu Dhabi International Airport – was given the opportunity to ride alongside cycling star Mark Cavendish.
Widely acclaimed as the greatest sprinter of his generation and possibly of all time, Cavendish was a silver medalist on the track in the 2016 Rio Olympics and has won more major tour stages than any other current rider (30) at the Tour de France.
