Epstein-Barr is something that takes time to come back from and some riders, like Beñat Intxausti, never come back from it.
At Cavendish’s age, it’s harder to get back to your top level, so it is possible he’s done. But last year he had lots of crashes too, so I think it might be too early to definitively write him off.
It’s not looking good though. ☹️

Cavendish has bounced back before after people have prematurely written him off but coming nowhere on two stages and then abandoning does suggest he’s really struggling.
