The B&B Hotels-KTM squad who have been rumoured to be signing Mark Cavendish for the 2023 season have cancelled a planned press conference for Wednesday, stating in a social media post the decision was made "due to the absence of some of the main stakeholders in the 2023 team's project". 

The French ProTeam were due to roll out their 2023 roster and sponsors on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's Tour de France route presentation.
