Mark Damien Renshaw (born October 22, 1982 in Bathurst , New South Wales , Australia ) is a former Australian cyclist .

Career

Renshaw started out as a competitive athlete as part of the Australian track cycling project. He was junior world champion in the team sprint in 1999 and 2000 and also in the 1000-meter time trial in 2000 . In the adult division, he won the team pursuit of the Commonwealth Games in 2002 and a total of three races of the Track Cycling World Cup in the disciplines of points trial and scratch .

On the road , Renshaw became a professional with the French cycling team Française des Jeux in 2004 , after riding there as a stagiaire last year . He celebrated his first international victory on the road in 2006 after switching to ProTeam Crédit Agricole in the one-day Tro-Bro Léon race .

For the 2009 season Renshaw moved to Team Columbia , the later Team HTC-Highroad, where he was the "last man" in the sprint train of Mark Cavendish , who won 16 stages of the Tour de France in the time together with this team . Due to his behavior in this activity, he was excluded from the race after the 11th stage of the Tour de France 2010 because of multiple headbuttings during the sprint against Julian Dean and pushing away from Tyler Farrar . Dean, who previously disabled Renshaw, was not punished. The decision sparked outrage among the Columbia team. In 2011 he was able to achieve his greatest individual success on the road to date with the overall victory of the Tour of Qatar .

After the dissolution of the HTC Highroad team, Renshaw switched to the Rabobank team for the 2012 season , which hired him as sprint captain. For this team he won a stage of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey in 2012 and the Clásica de Almería as well as a stage of the Eneco Tour in 2013 .

After a stopover at Quick Step , for which he won a stage of the Tour of Britain in 2014 , he switched to the South African team Dimension Data in 2016 , where he met Cavendish again. There he ended his active career in 2019 and contested his last race with the Tour of Britain .
