In the 2008 Tour De France Mark Cavendish became the first British cyclist to win three stages of the race. He then extended this to win a fourth stage and became one of a few riders to win four stages. However, in order to prepare for the Beijing Olympics in August, Cavendish retired from the 2008 Tour before Stage 15 began. He and Team Columbia manager Bob Stapleton mutually agreed that continuing over the Alps was an unnecessary risk to his Olympic hopes
