Grand Tour Hat-trick for Cav

by isleofman.com 9th September 2010

Isle of Man cyclist Mark Cavendish has become one of a select group of riders to win a stage at all three Grand Tours.

He has taken his first ever Tour of Spain stage this afternoon with a convincing sprint finish to win by a huge margin.

The Manx Missile has now won stages at the three premier events on the cycling calendar - the others being the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.

In his still short career, Cav has won five stages in the Giro, 15 at Le Tour and now a maiden victory at La Veulta.

It's his 60th win since making his debut as a professional rider in 2007.
