Christmas is coming and we are edging ever closer to the start of the new season at the Tour Down Under. Teams and riders are drawing up plans for 2023 and getting back into the swing of training.

However Mark Cavendish has to confirm if and where he will race in 2023. The Manxman, former world champion and 34-time Tour de France stage winner, is the last big-name in the peloton yet to confirm his future. Teams are close to completing their rosters for 2023 but sadly the B&B Hotels-KTM debacle means a number of riders have been forced to retire or scramble to find new teams.
