Mark Cavendish Appointed As Aston Martin’s First Global High Performance Ambassador
Sir Mark Cavendish, a celebrated British cyclist, has taken on the role of Global High Performance Ambassador for Aston Martin. Known as the 'Manx Missile,' Cavendish is the most successful sprinter in cycling history, holding 35 Tour de France stage wins. This new position aligns with Aston Martin's focus on high performance and expands their presence in international sports.
Cavendish's appointment highlights Aston Martin's commitment to excellence both on and off the track. His role will involve promoting the brand's high-performance culture through creative collaborations. As an Olympic medalist and former Road Race World Champion, Cavendish brings a wealth of experience to this position. He will represent Aston Martin at select events, offering insights from his competitive background.
The cyclist recently received an Aston Martin DBX707, marking the start of his ambassadorial duties. The vehicle, known for its top speed of 194 mph, perfectly complements Cavendish's reputation for speed. He took it for a spin on the Isle of Man’s renowned roads, where he was born and still resides.
Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer at Aston Martin, expressed excitement about Cavendish joining their family. "We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Mark to the Aston Martin family," he stated. "Mark embodies our philosophy of being performance-oriented." This partnership adds to Aston Martin’s efforts in showcasing peak performance credentials alongside their involvement in Formula 1®.
Cavendish is adjusting to his new title as 'Sir Mark' after being knighted earlier this year for his contributions to sports and charity. His DBX707 is finished in Photon Lime, reflecting both Aston Martin’s racing heritage and his personal connection to green as a two-time winner of the Tour de France green jersey.
