Mark Cavendish overcame illness to sprint to victory in the 195km Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne one-day race in Belgium yesterday (Sunday).
The Manx world road race champion was perfectly delivered to within 250m of the line by team-mate Chris Sutton before sprinting away from the field.
Twenty-six year-old Cavendish had been ill all day but praised his team-mates for keeping him in position.
After the race he said he was delighted by his first win in Europe this year and that Team Sky 'controlled it like a video game'.
