LONDON (Reuters) - British sprint king Mark Cavendish has extended his contract with African-based cycling outfit Team Dimension Data in a deal that will see his influence felt not just in the saddle.

The 33-year-old, known as the Manx Missile for his 30 stage wins on the Tour de France, will continue as a rider but will also become part of the team's newly formed Supervisory Board.
