Mark Cavendish will be joined by Michael Mørkøv and the core of his revamped Astana Qazaqstan lead-out train when he starts his season at next month’s Tour Colombia 2.1.

The Manxman already confirmed his participation in the race in December, and the Colombian Cycling Federation has revealed the full line-up that will accompany Cavendish in the six-day event, which takes place from February 6-11.
