World champion Mark Cavendish may have to pay his own “release fee” to secure a move away from Team Sky.

He has effectively been on the market since July, when Sky boss Dave Brailsford admitted they were probably not the best home for the sprinter.

Sky are focused on overall victories in cycling’s big races, instead of helping Cavendish, 27, win individual stages.

An amicable divorce had looked likely but Sky have now made it clear they expect compensation for letting him go.
