Mark Cavendish, pictured in October 2022, was recovering from injuries at the time of the alleged robbery
Jurors were told one of the masked raiders threatened to stab the 37-year-old athlete in front of his children."[It was a] well-orchestrated and well-executed planned invasion of the home of a well-known individual with the intention of grabbing high-value timepieces," said prosecutor Edward Renvoize, opening the first day of the trial at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Mr Renvoize said Mr Cavendish and wife Peta were in bed with their three-year-old son, on 27 November 2021, when Mr Cavendish thought he heard the noise of "male voices".
